OK guys, Im bouncing back. Any of you out there with a "taildragger" version of the Duelist, please post some photos. I know, I know, but ive already built a retractable gear duelly. I want to make a fixed gear dural mount under the wing with wheel pants. I wish I had the capability to post photos of my expired Duelly but this cheap company I work for wont upgrade computors here. Rear-mounted servos, flaps, shortend nacelles with a pair of .56 Saitos, gel-coated fuse, Ultracoted wings........Pros,cons,feedback, Ive worked and flown with aircraft, test research, develop, the whole enchilada for about 35 years. Talk to me guys, Michael

Hi Michael,

Here's a couple pics of my tail-draggin Duellist.

Details on my website.

1st pic is an early one with semi-reliable cycling main gear doors.

2nd pic shows in flight, minus the semi-reliable gear doors (you can just make out the wheels towards the back of the nacells. Note also, the dead engine.

Gear doors have since been re-worked and seem to be much more reliable.

cheers,
-E

2nd pic

Im totally blown away !! Simply amazed!
