This is a Double Eagle designed by Leonard Milholland. We started the project thinking it would take about six months to complete. We got our DAR inspection 18 months later on September 25, 2009, and made the first flight four days later. Building a “plansbuilt” aircraft took longer than we expected. We made some cosmetic and structural changes, and used a 1955cc VW engine from Great Plains. The airplane breaks ground in less than 200 feet at 35 mph and cruises at about 65 mph, burning about 3.5 gph, with docile handling much like a Cub.
