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

Re: rear suspension collapse model 20
Hi Donn Welcome aboard
These suspensions survived a lot of abuse when the Eagles were in commercial service. That said, the pars are getting pretty old and some folks have experienced Torsilastic tube failures. I would like to see some pictures of the Torsilastics to see if we can figure out what happened.
There are two threads that should help you think about what is needed to put air suspension on the drive axles of an Eagle:

Lets start there and see what we can do to help you.

I had lost the drawings for my build. They are found again.
