This Christen Eagle II project was started in December of 1984 by my father Tom Rolander. He has completed more than half of the construction, but a busy work schedule with a new company has kept him from working on it for the last 7 years. I was 8 years old when he started it and helped him during hours of glueing and nailing the ribs. Now that I am 22 and a licensed aircraft mechanic I have taken over the construction so it will be finished this Millenium ;-)
