Much Double Eagle iin this thing. DE spars shortened to 9 ft, most tube sizes DE derived, DE has been the weight yardstick since the beginning. Many other DE features such as the basket weave seat, others. Target weight 500# with small Continental

Joe,
In order of importance:
Make sure your browser window is maximized
set your screen resolution to the highest you can live with
Install FireFox browser
The pics are automatically re-sized to 1024 x 768 if they are larger than that when uploaded. They are not re-sized if smaller than 1024 x 768.
If your screen resolution is very near the pic size you will get the scroll bar, no matter if you have a 4 foot wide screen.
If your refresh rate is below 60 you will get a headache if you look at the computer screen very long... see attached.

Hey btw..we need a small step for rockie. I'm concerned as he is now in the golden years and needs assisted care. Its asking a lot for him to take such a giant step to crawl in. If he would slip and fall or something it could brake a bone and he would not be able to get up. As he gets older he will be emberrassed more and more if there are activities that he can not partisapate in because of physical limitations.

Joe, looks good. Took a lot of care to minimize drag. As forr Rockie, you took care of him, looks like he will have a snooze bed in the back.
What is the airfoil. Seems that the bottom is curved more than the Eagles' wings.

That baggage shelf is a big deal for me, I like it! Does the main gear have any give? Great job!

Joe,
That is really looking good!
Looks like it might be a good traveling machine.

But what about the wing airfoil? I asked about it a while ago, but nothing but silence. Looks like it has a curved bottom, not flat like the Eagles. Can you tell us, or is it proprietary or maybe even TOP SECRET?
