Get this airplane! Download it from FS2004 Props, Page 77. Auto-installer. Great fun!! Stick in cockpit moves in Spot view-- gauges, too.  Bright color schemes. Neat!!

Also ace fun for aerobatics

Yes!! I could instantly feel the difference in this airplane over the Extra. A quantum leap ahead...

this airplane has been around for awhile and is AMAZING

I just discovered it last night after a random pick from the page that lists all the pages (one after another, separated by commas) on which are found the add-ons. Just luck. I saw the Eagle as a purple add-on, then went to get the original. I have heard of this plane, but did not know we had one here. I downloaded a Pitts S-1 a while back, but it was not real in appearance-- it looked like blueberry swirl ice cream and had poor propeller visuals. This Eagle is my new favorite prop-driven, aerobatic hotrod.

Just a brief, unrelated aside: Steve Hinton's son, Steve, Jr., just 22 years old in late August, got to fly an Unlimited P-51 in the Reno air races this Sunday. He did not win, but did really well for his first time under the heat of competition. What must that be like? To be just 22, and fly a Mustang built for all-out racing? I can't even begin to imagine. I just hope he doesn't get killed doing it at some point in the future...

LIC's Eagle has always been my favorite aerobatic aircraft in FS. It feels more truthful flying aerobatics than any other I've flown in FS. The LIC Champ is another great plane. Their Champ in the sim is spot on and flies nearly identically to the Champ I used to fly real life. I don't have any real world Eagle time to say the same about this plane, but I get the feeling that it is very accurate as well.

I think the thing that sets LIC planes apart from the rest is not that they fly by the numbers (real airplanes don't even do that), but they they feel right in the sim, which is a very rare thing.
