Aerolight Eagle Ultralight

Posted by: Darren | Comments (22)

In this short film, Chris, Brian, Dale and Steve of Southern California take a vintage Aerolight Eagle Ultralight through it’s paces in the California desert at El Mirage dry lake bed. We all got a chance to fly the aircraft, and when we were done, Brian held the Altitude record amongst us at nearly 5000 feet above sea level (msl), Chris held the longest distance flown at nearly 60 miles. When the Eagle came to us it was a broken down mess from Brian’s Brother. We spent countless hours restoring it and replacing the engine with a Hirth F33 Engine. We replaced the wooden propeller with a carbon fiber 3 bladed model. Even the wing was replaced after we miraculously found one in excellent shape that had been stored for years by another ultralight enthusiast. If you enjoyed this video, send me a message.
