Legal Eagle SR 7-1/2 Flying to Fly-In

It has been a while since I have been able to fly LE SR 7-1/2. Had a Knee replacement back in December and have not been able to get into the machine. After Knee replacements knee bending movement is not quite what it was before and I am a bit overweight, large, which limits my movements. As I loose weight this should become easier and SR will climb getter. This is the First Annual EAA chapter 972 Fly in there in East Texas at T25 so put it on you calendar for next year, June 14th 2025.

The greatest sounding engine I have ever heard on an ultralight.

[@wolfgang7513]

Incredible sound of the little engine and all you need to get in the air ! Greatings from Germany, Wolfgang

[@thudable]

That's a great little aircraft. Thanks for posting

[@InvincibleExtremes]

i love this little airplane

[@OcotilloTom]

That little 3 cylinder fan engine looks like the Anzani engine that powered Louis Bleriot Model 11 across the English Channel in 1909. Very cool.

[@stevez9392]

thanks...I enjoyed the ride !

[@kevkev5935]

That was an awesome video to start my morning with. This looks like a blast to fly.

[@innocentbystander3798]

Legal (B)eagle! Nice flyin', Wes.

[@Democracy10]

This is what flying is all about. The engine says it all. 👍

[@AlanpittsS2b]

Neat little plane. My dad built one years ago. He has a pitts special now I fly his old luscombe

[@GeorgeEdmonds-v7e]

What a nice aircraft!

[@wimm1392]

Awesome video Thanks Mr.

[@privatepilot4064]

How many toothpicks did it take to build it? No, actually it’s pretty cool!

[@JimDog794]

Awesome! Neat little plane looks like a lot of fun!

[@charlesfoster141]

I love it too!!

[@SatelliteYL]

Thanks for the video. Looks like a lot of fun

[@myfavoritemartian1]

It sounds like a PT19 Ryan. they had a 5 cyl radial engine.

[@cranerigging3604]

Pretty cool ! My buddy " Charlie " had one like yours and he called it an " Air Bike " ..

[@ontariocbclub]

Respect for you Sir. I am scared to look down, watching your video 😂

[@DerMiezMiez]

that thing sounds insane!

[@postoffice146]

That 3rd cylinder makes it a radial engine.

[@killerpigszombi3382]

Такой маленький, а летает шикарно

[@stevenrashby]

Well done! What engine is that?

[@paolovmt]

Its wonderful, I'ke too much your fly. 👍🏻

[@frontcentermusician]

Camera guy is pretty brave.

[@pradeepknsiva]

Hi , I like your flying with 1/2 VW 😊

[@leneanderthalien]

its a 3 cyl Verner

[@MonstroLab]

wish Les would build the two seater Legal Eagle so he could give us rides!

[@alanspring8462]

Happy to subscribe next time you're in my area. Do some mosquito control for me.❤

[@swolf950]

Good video. Whats the gph on your Eagle?

[@UserName-ln5ol]

One bad bump away from introducing that propeller to the ground at high velocity.

[@kuso.megane]

indeed, he should replace it with jet engines

[@willdarlington3410]

the guy we have to look out for without TIS

[@alanspring8462]

Sounds like a fourstroke engine if I'm not mistaken.

[@strvenoconnell4061]

3 cylinder?

[@Tinybench]

Thanks for the ride!😅

[@chipevans1939]

Outstanding! That looks like fun

[@Tadrjbs]

What is the engine?

[@Hangar605]

I think it’s a Verner V3 engine.

[@pradeepknsiva]

It’s Verner 3cylinder

[@Hoyllandgeorge-qc5uz]

I always had a dream when I was young lad to build and fly my own aircraft like this one,copied French first aviator “ Bleriot “ but didn’t happened !!!!

[@terryadkins9831]

Kinda looks like snoopy on charlie brown catoon

[@mflance7197]

How long do you think it would take to fly a state over .

[@alexblack6421]

Well… my son was done with his jungle gym… so I build a crop duster… lol

[@JamesWilliamson-w8y]

Is this the same Legal Eagle that was at Oshkosh Air Adventure 2022 ?

[@LesHomanLegalEagleXL]

@@JamesWilliamson-w8y yes

[@ScottJohnson-hi7vv]

What kind of motor is that and how many hp? I see two cylinders but is there a third one (plane is blocking the total view). thanks

[@craigmclean8260]

Looks like a Verner 3VL; according to their site, 42 HP and 90 (!) ft.-lbs. torque.

[@LesHomanLegalEagleXL]

It is the Verner 3V a 3 cylinder radial engine.

[@cezaryantonczyk1181]

Do I need a license for this one

[@jimmymurphy7789]

You forgot to Silk-Span the Fuselage !

[@lenny108]

That looks like a huge amount of paperwork to get all the permits to take the aircraft into the skies. You probably need a whole office for that?

[@timfleischman1676]

I know they got to be light, but damn that thing looks flimsy.

[@chetmyers7041]

It carries this big fellow and look at that robust landing gear.

[@alanspring8462]

Thank God for ultra lights.❤

[@Sonofaguninmo]

What speed do you cruise at on a long flight?

What’s the final weight and what did you use to cover the wings? Always loved the look of the legal eagles at Osh!

Apparently all you need to fly is a lawnmower and a giant pair of cajones.

[@miguelsuarez8010]

Very cool. Does the control tower radar see this airframe?

[@LesHomanLegalEagleXL]

No control tower here

[@miguelsuarez8010]

@@LesHomanLegalEagleXL And why is he using earphones and microphone?

[@chetmyers7041]

@@miguelsuarez8010 Even at a field without control tower you can announce your intentions to other pilots who may be approaching. Do research on "uncontrolled airfield." You can still have pilots talking DIRECTLY to one another, not thru a third party controller.

If you cover the fuselage it will not stay straight when landing in a cross wind

This man does not get into an airplane, it's more like he straps one on. Best regards big guy. I can say that because I am bigger than you :) Stay safe buddy
