Title: Verner 3 cyl
Post by: Dave Stroud on January 30, 2017, 12:55:50 PM
Was I dreaming or has someone done a video with a Verner 3 cl flying on a Legal Eagle ?  I know Dan has been talking about it but I thought I saw a short video possibly with Joe Spencer flying one. Thanks.

This the one?  This and the Farman are the only 2 ultralights I've seen video on with the 3VW.



Frank may have more information on it...

Nope....not that one Dan. I've seen those before. Might have been some apparition late at night after some nice Cali merlot ...sure is a neat little motor though and would suit my single seat cabin model very nicely.

Dave, the Rebel is the closest thing we have to compare to an Eagle for now. Two of us are working on the 3VW install on Legal Eagle XLs. Mine is stalled due to construction of a new shop for the prop business addition , We're getting a CNC machine!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully late February i will be back on the 3VW Eagle and flying early summer.

No sweat, Frank and thanks for that. I've been going back and forth a bit with Paul (overseas) and may PM you in a few days for just a couple of details/ thoughts. Regards...

Slowly chipping away at my Eagle Dave. There are a couple others i know of that are in process also, but no one flying yet. Once mine is assembled and rigged i have to take it apart for paint and covering.
