“Whether you’re talking about appearance or performance, there’s only one way to describe the Christen Eagle …and that's sensational! Our ARF version arrives with every colorful “feather” in place, ready to snap, tumble or rocket straight up at a moment’s notice!" Don Anderson, Founder, Great Planes Model Manufacturing® Company
Faster to attach — easier to remove! Our new interplane struts do away with clumsy brackets, tiny screws and wasted time. Just slide it into the bottom wing. Putting the top wing in place “traps” it in place with a fit that holds tight whether it’s upright, inverted or on knife-edge.
Additional work-savers in the wings. In place of 2-piece wings and joiner tubes, the Christen Eagle 46 features faster, simpler 1-piece designs. Prehinged ailerons offer additional time savings and ease.
