12:35 Wrap Up

Back in 1992, Tom was given a Pica Duellist MKII 240 that a friend of his built from the plans that were drawn by Dave Platt. Tom flew that airplane a lot, but he crashed it after changing the receiver. The ailerons were reversed and since he didn’t do a preflight check, he didn’t notice it before take-off. After the crash, he kept all the salvageable pieces in a small container in his building area affectionately known as the Duellist bucket.

After nearly 30 years, and thanks to the discussions on the RC Plane Lab podcast, Tom finally decided to build another Duellist and use whatever pieces he could from the original. Always up for a challenge, Ron decided to build one too, but to put his spin on it making it an electric taildragger.

The build log for both of these airplanes is at https://rcplanelab.com/duellist-build-log/

This is the video of the maiden flights.
