Twin Identification please!
Hello,
Could anyone please let me know the name of this twin model? I flew it aroud 1980 in the United Kingdom but I bought it second hand then. I remember it was powered by 2x O.S. 21's and was a beautiful flier. I think it was a Top Flight kit but could be totally wrong. I lost it through an engine out on take off after many years of sterling service. I still have the engines. Unfortunately I did not fix the information on the back of photos in those days.
Any help would be most welcome.
Thanks
Guy Glover

Similar to the Duellist, but that's not it. Here's a couple shots of the Duellist for comaprison.
Additionally you said 0.21 engines, the Duellist is for 0.40 or larger engines.

RE: Twin Identification please!
Thank you for the replies.
It was very quick, elegant and aerobatic on the 2 OS .21's. It was my first twin and I seem to remember it was about 70" span but then again I was much smaller then! As I said I bought it second hand all ready to go so had no part in its construction. I would like to know the name for an article for our local club in the UK.
Currently flying a Seagull Dual Ace with my Flair Mosquito nearly ready to go. Back to twins after 3 years with a turbine.
Best regards

Also consider a RCM design called the Omega, could be a warmed over version of that plane. Have plans or one and i built one up as a kid many years ago. Engine size is correct also.
