| Leonard Milholland has changed his prototype Legal Eagle Ultralight, and is in the process of issuing a mandatory change order for the brace wires that attach to the vertical fin. His two wires are now parallel and have two attach points rather than both attaching to the rear vertical tube. Until an offical change order is published, Leonard is asking that builders contact him for the details of this change. (Per 5/25/02 visit with Mr. Milholland at his hangar.) Details are now on his web site, click here. |

| Longer Wings: Lengthen the wing by one bay on each wing panel at the fuselage end. (This was first recommended for the heavy pilot or ones at high density altitude.) Leonard said, "when adding a section to the wings one should install jury struts I have a drawing of the struts and the fittings for the wings its real simple but the struts will be longer and that requires some stiffing and jury struts are a good way to go also be sure to add the extra bay on the fuselage end and leave the out board end as is" (LM e-mail 2-18-02) : Caution: This has not been tested yet. |
