Design and development
The aircraft configuration - two open cockpits in tandem, the parasol wing, and the fixed tailwheel undercarriage - hearkens back to designs of the "Golden Age" of aviation in the 1920s and 30s. However, the Duce was an all-new design by former Boeing engineer Jerry Bakeng, the aesthetics of which were acknowledged with the Outstanding New Design Trophy at the 1971 EAA fly-in at Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Two hundred sets of plans had been sold by 1979. The fuselage construction is of welded steel tube with the forward part skinned in metal and the rear in fabric. The wings are constructed of wooden ribs and spars with fabric covering and are removable for transport or storage.
Rights to the Deuce were purchased by the Bakeng Deuce Airplane Factory in March 1999 and the spelling of the aircraft's name was changed at this point.
