Word of warning - spatchcocking a duck is not easy. Not easy a t
all. Ducks are much more sturdy than chickens. It requires a
hacksaw, nothing less.

But spatchcocking is a good idea, at the lowest point in the oven
and tented with foil as Marty mentioned. I still think it may get
too much heat on top and not much underneath.
