Hugh,
Is there a link for that?

Nice looking aircraft.
Can you tell us about those aluminum wings? Are they your own design or borrowed from another design?

I built this wing in 2013 and have been flying it since 2014. I may be off on my thought process here, but while being part of this site since it's earliest beginnings, I feel the site was established for the more purist of Legal Eagle builders and admirers. I have been given much and contributed some knowledge to other members in an attempt to continue and further the advancement of the Legal Eagle as it was originally designed by 'The Boss' Mr. Leonard Milholland. With that in mind, I would not feel comfortable discussing changes to his superb design on this site. I realize there have been many who have pursued other adaptions, upgrades, power plants, landing gear, etc. to the original design. That is a very good thing I believe, for grassroots aviation, but most of those folks have chosen to use other media outlets to disclose their alterations and modifications. I feel that is the right way to go. I hope you can understand my line of thinking on this.

Well, whether to discuss it or not is certainly your prerogative. I'm not gonna twist your arm.
But, speaking for myself, I wouldn't see it as any sign of disrespect to Leonard to describe our own variations here.
No two Legal Eagles are the same, even when built exactly to plans, because the plans leave room for variation. How many places in the plans does it say "make this part to fit the dimension of the other part you already made"...

Glad you understand... I am sure most can tell that "make this part to fit the dimension of the other part you already made"... is quite different than replacements of major component's.
