Default RE: Building a DUELIST MK 2 From Plans!

Ulf,
Glad to hear another Duelist is taking shape. I haven't been working on mine much the last couple of weeks. Spring and the yard chores have been consuming the free time. I'm also doing a lot of flying right now before it gets real hot here.

If you plan to do your pushrod guides like I did I recommend gluing them prior to sheeting the fuse. Having them glued at each bulkhead will make them a bit more stable and less likely to come loose and cause problems.

Funny, my planes never seemed to last more than about 50 flights so I never worried about wear or access. Now that I'm not as crash-prone I spend much more time setting them up and contriving easier methods for future maintenance. I should be back on this one in a couple of days.
Mike
