Design and development

The DoubleEnder is a two place tandem seat conventional landing gear equipped, high winged aircraft. The two engines are mounted in tandem on top of the fuselage in a push-pull configuration. The steel tube fuselage is fabric covered with a plexiglas nose. A 55 U.S. gallons (210 L; 46 imp gal) belly pod can be used to increase fuel capacity to 103 U.S. gallons (390 L; 86 imp gal). A variety of wing configurations and lift devices were used during the development period.[2]
