	Jeff,

	While I have not built an Eagle I or II I have two
	friends that have. 

	One, in California is just about ready to put it in
	the air.  He has taken about 18 months of part time
	(one/two day(s) a week) of work.  The other, in Texas
	has about 500 hours logged.

	BOTH are seriously considering building another for
	sale.  It takes some money and a LOT of time and
	effort but there is one overriding benefit.

	YOU WILL make a better built plane (not design just
	care putting together) then the average assembly built
	aircraft.  After all...Its going to be YOUR tail in
	it.

	Good Luck.
