http://www.ultralightflyer.com – Legal Eagle Part 103 Legal Ultralight Aircraft by Leonard Milholland - produced in kit form by J&N Bolding Enterprises of Baytown, Texas and intended for amateur construction.

The Legal Eagle is so named because it is capable of being built in legal compliance with the United States FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles regulations, even when equipped with a four stroke engine.

The Legal Eagle features an open cockpit and is powered by a 30 hp (22 kW) Half VW engine.

The design features a fuselage of welded 4130 steel tubing, mated to an all-wood wing made from spruce. The struts and tail surfaces are made from 6061 T6 aluminium tubing. The flying surfaces are covered with doped aircraft fabric. The rear fuselage is normally left as an open truss structure to save weight and to ensure that the aircraft does not exceed the FAR 103 maximum speed of 55 knots (102 km/h; 63 mph). Like the fuselage, the taildragger landing gear is sprung steel.

The aircraft has been developed into several variants of the basic design including the XL version for larger pilots and a two-seat ultralight trainer and Light-sport aircraft.[6][7][8]
