The Hangar 9 Christen Eagle II 90 ARF (HAN5010) is a 54-inch wingspan sport scale biplane kit aimed at intermediate to advanced RC pilots who want a capable aerobatic aircraft with genuine scale presence. Based on the iconic full-scale Christen Eagle II — the plane made famous by the Eagles aerobatic demonstration team through the late 1970s to mid-1990s — this model captures the real aircraft's lines with impressive fidelity straight out of the box. Built from lightweight balsa and light plywood, it accepts either glow or brushless electric power, giving you flexibility in how you set it up. Assembly takes roughly 10 to 15 hours, and the result is an ARF RC biplane with a flying weight of 8.5 to 10 lb and a wing area of 878 sq in — well suited to smooth, precise aerobatics rather than fast-paced sport flying.
Key Features
