The B.A. Eagle is an elegant British low-wing cabin monoplane from 1934, designed by G. Handasyde for British Klemm (later the British Aircraft Co.). The full-size had retractable gear and racer-like lines, and only 43 were built. The Black Horse version carries the classic red/silver livery of the era and is built entirely from balsa and plywood.
Like the original, the model has flaps for slow, forgiving flight, and the carefully chosen airfoil makes scale flying a joy. Supplied as an ARF with a 58 mm spinner and oleo main gear + spring-wire tailwheel (included) – build as .61 glow / 15cc petrol or electric.
