Leonard
Milholland was at Airventure 2003 with his Double Eagle. The
Double Eagle is a two seat side by side seating version of
the popular Legal Eagle Leonard introduced at Sun N Fun
several years ago.
According to Leonard a "large friend" approached him to
build a plane for him, the result was the Double Eagle. The
Double Eagle has a 20 foot larger wing, which has been
stressed to 4 g's., has larger diameter struts and spars and
uses a 4 cylinder, 1835 cc, 60 hp Volkswagen engine.
The craft is 40 inches wide comes with dual controls, has an
empty weight of 385 lbs a gross of 900 lbs giving it a
useful load of 515 lbs.
Leonard offers plans for the plane. For that you get 85
sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. He also offers 5 building
videos at $25.00 each, or $200 for plans and the videos.
These take you through the complete building process. It is
estimated the plane should take about 500 hours to build
from plans and cost in the neighborhood of $5,000 to $7,000
to build.
John Bolding of Baytown Texas 281-383-0113 is offering
welded fuselages, kits, and materials packages. |
