Default "DDDC175" - Double Dekker Dead Calmer at 175 grams.

After the great success with couple of GIANT double dekkers and latest, lightest mono wing creations to add in my fleet, I got a new idea to build the lightest doublewinger after learning few tricks from my last build and the failure of two earlier models, being too heavy for their size, no where near for my intended "slow-low-close" fun flying, but rather a stressful dogs to fly to check my reflexes. LOL.

Giant with the micro doggy.

After each creation learning something new.

Something like this as 'Doubledekker".

At this embryonic stage, my guess is 175AUW, it would be nice if I can beat it lower to reduce the wing load at some 3 grams per decimeter. My last mono winger build flies at 4g/dm, pretty nice for outdoor dead calm but I like to slow it down further to have even more fun during magic twilight hours.
