- Hangar rash incident and a broken wing rib.
Using some spruce left over from the build and some Oratex tape, I was able to have the Legal Eagle airworthy again in just a few hours.

Nice fix
Great video... I have watched your video and another one on a “rib build” on TH-cam on building the Legal Eagle ribs, and you guys are using off-the-shelf water based wood glue. That’s a no-no for a/c construction as moisture and heat will eventually compromise the glue bond. Did you build your entire a/c with tote bond???
Titebond 3 is a waterproof, high strength structural glue used for exterior applications and was the glue of choice by the original designer/builder of Legal Eagle back in the 90's and for many people since that time without issue. I used Titebond 3 on the ribs and T88 everywhere else in the wing structure.

Much Appreciation. I'm hoping to put floats on a legal eagle XL ,any suggestions.

Hey those domed inspection panels "plunk in" if you push directly in on the center. It then comes out very easlily

Where did you source your wood for your legal eagle, can I just use big box store?

Just out of curiosity (& not related, sorry), did the Dragonfly sell?
Hey Matty, Am about to relist if you are interested. Was sold to a guy who had a sudden heart problem and is going to have issues maintaining his medical.
Ah great! I’ll be in touch then.
Thanks.
What weight fabric are you using? Thanks.
Oratex UL600
So Oratex seems to be similar to modeling Monokote. True?
Hi C Cy. Oratex company started in fact as a Monokote competitor making shrink fabric for model aircraft before entering the "real" aircraft fabric business.
What engine does your eagle use?

Did you gas weld the frame? will tig work ok?
I gas welded. Tig is good too.
@@DCSquared did u do the wing fold setup. Also, what did the engine weight come in at? Thank you
Why not use an epoxy rather than white glue.
I’d be using epoxy for sure…T-88
