More than three years since the Cabin Eagle plans became available, has anyone built and flown one yet or even made substantial progress?  I am surprised to have heard so little about what seems like a very appealing design.  Cheers, Matthew

I taxied mine yesterday for the 2nd time. Had to make a seat adjuster to move the seat forward as I could hardly reach the pedals the 1st time. I only have another day or two of work to get it ready for air worthiness inspection. Not sure how long that will take.
Here is a photo from the 1st taxi test.

Looks really nice! I have been thinking about building that as my next build but was not sure but after seeing what yours looks like I may re-evaluate again building the Cabin Eagle!  Do you have more pictures?  I would love to see more detail on the build.
