Grosso Aircraft Easy Eagle 1 Explained

The Great Plains Aircraft Easy Eagle is a single seat homebuilt biplane, powered by a Volkswagen air-cooled engine.[1] [2] [3]

Design and development

The Grosso Aircraft Easy Eagle 1 was designed by Ron Grosso, and the production rights were sold to Great Plains Aircraft Supply Company.[2] [4]

The Easy Eagle 1 is built with a steel tube fuselage that is fabric covered.[5] The wings are all wooden construction. It uses the same one piece, all-aluminum landing gear as the Monnett Sonerai.[6]

The Easy Eagle is built from plans; there is no kit available, although Great Plains supplies some sub-assemblies. The estimated time to complete the aircraft from the plans is 300-500 hours.[2] [3]
