Taking Flight.. More images of the finished Storm Eagle

Photobucket

This was one of the parts I was dreading most... getting this massive hunk of resin "airborne"  Not only is the Storm Eagle very heavy, the majority of the weight is aft of the centerline, which made balancing it quite a challenge!  Setting the angle of the post was critical in that effort.

Here are some images of the Eagle in flight:
