Ok, this might be a soar subject for some, and may also show how bias you all are to the Christian Eagle butâ¦.. Iâm in the market for a plane. Iâve been flying a Pitts S2C but want two seats. Iâm trying to do some research on the Christian Eagleâs so called aft CG problem and spin recovery with two up. I know any airplane can be overloaded aft CG but from what Iâve heard it can happen in the Eagle pretty easy. I need a mount that I can fly competition in (solo) as well as take people for rides âincludingâ aerobatics - safely.<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Can anyone shed some light on it? I spoke with a friend of mine who owns and has flown in many contests with his Eagle about the two of us going up and doing some acro. His first words were that he would only do a few rolls and maybe a loop because of the risk of accidentally getting into a spin and not being able to get out of it with two grown adults.
Keep in mind I have around 2000 hours total time with around 900 of that tailwheel and 60 hours acro so Iâm not a complete rookie (to some maybe). Iâm just looking for honest answers.
Thanks guys,
Paul
