Becoming a convert to the Christen Eagle

Compare propeller diameter to wingspan, and you know you’re in for some excitement! So you fancy owning a Pitts, Stearman or Tiger Moth, but can’t truly afford one – or maybe you suspect they’d be too hard to handle? Try a Christen Eagle. It’s cheaper and more practical, and its spectacular colour scheme turns heads and draws attention wherever it goes. Simply dismounting from this ‘muscle biplane’ sets you apart from the crowd.

Veritable sports cars of the sky, 200hp (150kW) Eagles out-perform similarly powered two-seat Pittses, but are easier to control. Going places fast, you can share your three-dimensional exploration with friends; and two seats also lets you have aerobatic coaching in your own aeroplane.
