Twin engine pattern

[Bill Glaze]

Some time ago I built a Duellist.  Kit was by Pica.  It was designed by 
Dave Platt, noted scale builder.  I had 2-45's in mine.  It flew well, 
but would not come close to being competitive with our present breed of 
pattern planes.  it was heavy, it had long, narrow strip ailerons, 
peculiar thrust/incidence relationship, other things I can't remember.  
I enjoyed it, but in no way could it be called a competition airplane.  
Just my opinion.
