I build a twin Super Sportster using the stock kit and plans from RCM. I had the bright idea of putting twin OS 55s on a 40 sized airplane. It took at least 1/2 pound of lead in the tail to make it...

Eureka aircraft has foam cores for many planes. The Tiger 60 is listed. I've never bought anything from them nor have I worked with sheeting foam cores but I intend to soon. Good Luck

RE: Resurrecting a Duellist 2/40

I always fiberglass center sections of anything I build or re-cover. There was a crack in the sheeting behind the nacelles. Probably from a hard landing or two. There's a lot of weight out there with...

RE: Resurrecting a Duellist 2/40

The engine mounts were missing from the Duelist. I was afraid I would need to install a mount then rebuild the nacelles to make things line up. Fortunately, I was able to find out the mounts were...

RE: Resurrecting a Duellist 2/40

The next decision was the landing gear. The airplane was set up for pneumatic retracts. It had an air tank in the back and an old nose gear in the front. The main gear were gone. I've never heard...

RE: Resurrecting a Duellist 2/40

Here's a shot of the duelist fully stripped. The next problem was the canopy. It was so yellow it was hard to see thru. I contacted Keith Sparks at Park Flyer Plastics. He was great to deal with. He...

RE: Covering Question
