RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

The one I am working with is the second one sent; the first was mangled in shipment to the point that the fuselage was completely broken in two.

It is a prototype, there's no foam,...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

More on the Tigercat and the TwinSync (If you don't mind my sticking it in your 2/60 thread).

The XF7F was the only Tigercat (two built) that had nose wheel steering. All the others...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

I have posted about the F7F already, I'm sure I'll do more when it gets going. Roughly 82" span, here are three overall pictures, and one showing the typical structure. Very strong, and...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

I've not been able to do much of anything since mid-July, so no, the 2/60 isn't done. When it is I'll probably use one of the TwinSync units in it though.

Of the three I have one is...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

If you're too lazy to make your own, Du-Bro sells skis for model aircraft.

Haw.

I really don't blame you. I came south to get away from snow. And the airplane does look very...

Joe and Tim:

I just went to the site Tim listed, all the references and the illustrations of the plan are the Mark I version of the plane. The picture posted with the ad is a Mk I plane built by...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Joe:

Some history. Dave Platt designed the Duellist 2/40, and in 1976 when he owned Dave Platt Models he produced a kit for the plane.

I don’t know the details, but he and Morton Tanger...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Chic:

You can move the firewalls back to the leading edge of the wing without making any large difference in the flight characteristics, it’s more a matter of the fuel tanks. The fuselage...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

Reinforcing the thought of poor glue adhesion – look at the LE of the stab – no tearing, no wood transfer, almost as though it hadn’t been glued at all. Like the lower sides of the...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Pete:

Here are your pictures, I combined the separate shots of the end of the stab.

After looking at them I rather think we should have included the CF spar. At the same time, no one else...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

[Also, to all who might be thinking about mounting servos in the rear.

Remember the fuselage and wing skins are the main strength of the Duellist design, any cuts anywhere can weaken the...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Edwin:

Sorry I didn’t get back on this sooner, I had intended to do it last night and then forgot.

The tank SD 2/60 tank compartment is 5 5/8” long, 2½” deep, and 3 1/8” wide. The...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

I’m going to guess the fickle finger got you. Did you cover the stab, and then cut the covering away for the glue joint? That’s where thje fickle finger comes in – creasing the wood...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Dave:

The Duellist design uses all the skin, both the fuselage and the wing, as the main load bearing part. The inner structure by itself is fairly weak. That’s why the nacelles are glued to...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Jim:

People who want to use the heavy 60-61 engines have the balance problem too.

Dave Platt, in designing the original Duellist 2/40 used the K&B ringed 40 engines, about 12 ounces per...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

I am currently assembling a plane similar to the Super Duellist 2/60 Mk II, I'm using Saito FA-82 engines in it. They should also fly the SD 2/60 nicely, but I don’t think they would...

Nylon 4-40 screws? Great idea, I like it.

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Been a long time, good to hear from you again. Your gear mounting looks good.

A 1/16” x 5/16” CF strip top and bottom would make your wing the strongest part of the...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Zep:

The latest version of the Super Duellist 2/60 Mk II has a sheeted foam wing. There’s no reason you shouldn’t go foam on the 2/40 Mk II as well. Much easier to build as you said, but the...

The Duellist Mk II plan is available from Model Airplane News, here is a link to the plan on their site. When the page comes up scroll about 1/3 of the way down to find the Duellist.

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

We never redrew the plan to reflect the changes in the Super Duellist 2/60 Mk II. We instead supplied a “Kinko’s” 125% enlargement of the Duellist 2/40 Mk II plan, in an included...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

Well, Pete, "We" all say to use the rudder, but I don't remember seeing any explanation other than the offset thrust. Just thought I'd throw out a few more of the reasons why rudder is important,...

RE: Super Duellist 2/60 Build

All:

Let’s have a quick flying lesson here. For the purposes of the lesson we will not consider the number of engines on the airplane, just suffice it to say the airplane is under power.
