Development

The Duckling was a modification of the CW-1 Junior, the fuselage had a plywood V-shaped underside added and the addition of strut-mounted pontoons. The engine was mounted above the wing driving a pusher propeller, only three aircraft were built all powered by different engines. The type was not developed due to lack of funds.
