CE - 1st Taxi test . . .
« on: January 21, 2015, 02:10:00 PM »
Hi guys ,
 Yesterday I taxied the Cabin Eagle found several things that had to be
changed. Seat needs to be moved forward about 4 inches. Throttle was
sticking choke needs re adjusting and rudder pedals need to be made taller.
I got the tail up for a while it comes right up. Feel very good about the
way it handled on the turns etc Leonard

Steve (or Leonard), any news on the Cabin Eagle?  It's been quite some time since we've had an update here, and even the Facebook page has had no word since reporting that the CE had passed FAA inspection back in April.  Cheers, Matthew
