I think that David Lednicer basically has the story right concerning some of
the history of the Eagle. Whether Q2 or DFly is a moot point, I know that
the Eagle people borrowed the cowl from the plane I now own for some
measurements and scale-up work, and that is why it has such a nice finished
surface - they filled all the pin-holes.
There are some Eagles flying at the moment - I saw one in the air today. The
forestry people have a couple for spotting, but they haven't taken off real
big.
If I remember I will try to scan a piccy onto the list and you can judge for
yourself.
