Good day. My Christen Eagle ground looped (yes, by itself) Sad story, but not a long story- about 10 seconds. Luckily we're fine, no prop strike. While the insurers mill through the claim, I would like some advice on suppliers to replace;
Left bottom wing- edge bent up (2 feet) so both spars damaged,
Landing leg bent,
Left front wheel assembly and spat/ wheel pant
tail wheel assembly,
small fibreglass cosmetic covers.
Being from south Africa and not much experience with bi plane repair, mush less christen Eagle and with the agent apparently not supplying completed parts, can anyone advise or recommend someone who builds wings commercially?
Been trolling the internet and some nice looking after market manufacturers, but would appreciate input and possible referrals from the people in the know.
Saw the Christen Eagle at Oshkosh last year, took the photo and suddenly lost interest in all the RV's. got home and the one of 2 in the country was for sale. done deal.
Thanks in advance.
