It definitely is to laugh, concerning the Duellist.

That is the plane I recommend as a Second twin, and never as a first kit.

Use a block plane for rough shaping, and a router bit on your Dremel for the hollowing, it will go much faster.

And after your third or fourth Duellist you'll find they don't take so much time as you thought.

For a very similar flying, and much simplified building twin almost exactly the same size, get the Twin-Air 45 from Northeast Aerodynamics.
