VH-TKZ Eagle 150B owned by Steven Black, at the Sport Aircraft Builders Club (SABC) Annual Fly-In, Serpentine Airfield, Western Australia – 23 October 2022. Built in 1999, MSN 024. Making a welcome first visit to Serpentine, having recently being acquired by a Western Australian owner. One of five Eagles at Serpentine on the day – VH-EAC and VH-RQQ also flew in, while the remains of VH-FPP and VH-FPW were in Gordon Johanson’s hangar. The Eagle X-TS was conceived by Western Australian inventors Neil Graham and his father Deryck Graham. Graham Swannell and John Roncz were then engaged to design the aircraft. The single-seat prototype Eagle X-P1 was a taildragger based on the Rutan Quickie and first flown in 1984. The Eagle X-TS (Two Seat) had tricycle gear and first flew in 1988, and this was later produced and marketed as the Eagle 150. Eagle Aircraft entered liquidation in 1989, and development slowed, so the aircraft was not certified until 1993. Eagle Aircraft was then purchased by a Malaysian company and production was moved from Fremantle to Malaysia in 1999, where the type was produced by Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM).
