Introduction

Presented in 1977, the Christen Eagle II was the brainchild of avid aerobatic pilot and entrepreneur,
Frank Christensen. His concept? Give pilots a refined, aerobatic set airplane nearly anyone might build.
The stylish little two-seater was so favored that a somewhat customized, single-seat version
ended up being the airplane of choice for one of the greatest aerobatic demonstration teams of perpetuity –
Charlie Hillard, Tom Poberezny and Gene Soucy, otherwise referred to as The Eagles. The trio flew the
airplane from 1979 through 1995, thrilling millions at air shows all over the world.

The Garage 9® Christen Eagle II 90 ARF remarkably captures the spirit of this exceptional aircraft. Constructed of leading
quality balsa and light plywood, it will eagerly perform severe aerobatics similar to its full-blown inspiration using your
choice of glow or brushless electrical power options. And it comes out of the box with a level of scale fidelity that genuinely
sets it apart from the rest of the sport model crowd.

If you’re a sport flier all set for more advanced airplanes or an aerobatic pro trying to find an enjoyable, sport scale model, the Christen Eagle II 90 has exactly what you’re after.
