Gary explains to Dr Russ Naughton that wire trussing was not practical and he had opted for ultra thin carbon fibre rods to simluate the wire and increase rigidity of the fuselage.

Gary Sunderland, replica Duigan, 1909 tractor model, May, 2003


Note that this was to test an number of design elements and not intended to be a true 'replica'. This will be created after testing is completed. The true 'replica' will be 1:1 scale (this is a smaller version to test indoors), move the rubber motor to above the wing and subsequently allow a truer skid assembly.

Make sure to also read our feature page on The Duigan Model Aeroplane of 1909
