Pica Duellist
I'm not quite ready for a twin ... but here is a pic of my Friend's Duellist. He demonstrated it for me yesterday at the flying field.
He has been flying for many many years and builds many many kits (usually giant scale stuff). This is a small project for him (it would take me a year to build one). This Duellist has two O.S. 40FX engines and Spring Air retracts. This thing really cooks. This plane flys just beautifully.
He said he built the plane light - I think he said it came in somewhere around 10 pounds (not seven as I previously wrote - my mistake).
He also enlarged some of the control surfaces (You can see what he added to the rudder on the top and bottom). Both engines stayed running through all the flights. However, he has had at least one flight where one engine went out. He said it flys well on one engine, just a bit of rudder required (it apparently will not taxi on one engine - but it flys well).
These planes are just a blast.

edit: corrected the weight - about 10 pounds - that makes more sense - saw the plane fly again this weekend - absolutely a joy to watch.
