In this report we advance in exploring further details concerning the formal aspects of the construction of a Flag-dipole spinor. We report a (re-)definition of the dual structure which provide a Lorentz invariant and non-null norm, ensuring a local theory. With the new dual structure at hands, we look towards define relevant physical amounts, e.g., spin sums and quantum field operator. As we will see, the Flag-dipole and the Elko’s theory are quite familiar. In this vein, it is possible, via a matrix transformation, to write Flag-dipole spinors in terms of Elko spinor, evincing that both spinors are physically related and some physical amounts may be stated as equivalent.
