Legal Eagle Ultralight Build
« on: July 28, 2026, 11:26:19 AM »
This is my first post, though, I have been lurking for quite a while. I finally decided to build a Legal Eagle (original) and began on Mar 2, 2026. Both wings are completed to the point of leading edge plywood and covering. The tail is done and my fuel tank is clecoed awaiting final riveting and Pro-Seal. I just got my oxy-acetylene tanks today. Anxious to start practicing. I returned from Airventure a few days ago. It was nice finally meeting Leonard and celebrating his 102nd birthday.
I have not posted sooner since I have found answers to most of my questions here on this site. I will try to post some pictures in the next few days.
