As of 12/1/2021, a major update of the forum software was accomplished
Update: 4/20/2024: The Eagles email account at GoDaddy no longer works. I have set up a gmail account as a workaround: eaglesinternational.email@gmail.com (This link seems to work for my outlook email, but may not work for other email platforms. If it does not load, copy and paste the link in your platform.)
Update: 4/27/2024: I am getting some SQL error pages as I click on different areas of our forum. Using the back arrow and hitting the link again usually loads the page. I will wait for a day or two before I have GoDaddy look into the problem.
update 4/28/2024 Worked on problem and crashed both the website and forum. Have now restored and will work on it in a day or two

Pantograph Bay Doors
I just sent some pictures of my Prototype bay door to Jim Shepherd.
If these make it thru to him, he said he will post them for me.
As you can tell, I am not very computer literate, but I am trying.
Thanks!

Re: Pantograph Bay Doors
Heck, you guys don't need to know computers! Both of you just find ways to make your Eagles better! That's time well spent! I make plenty of mistakes on these 'puters for all of us!
Looking forward Sonnie to see the pics! Hope you guys are doing good!

Re: Pantograph Bay Doors
I sized Sonnies photos a bit big, so that you can see quite a bit of detail. Let me know if you have problems viewing them on your screen.

None at this time, I will use a round rubber seal when I redo everything,
sort of like what was on the original bay doors vertical post.

Re: Pantograph Bay Doors
Very nice, Sonnie! I wonder if those would work with my idea of hydraulic controls to open and close them.
