"Well, of course I had to.  Can't have the tail be burned off by the engine.  You'd never get airborne, like that madman Roshon's multiplane.  Then we'd be right out and the airscrew would never be replaced.  And we can't have that, now can we?"

This does have a  very large coolness factor because it's so damn small.

I'm not sure whether it's the Biggles story or the jetification of that old DH2 that's entertaining me more here..  :wub:  :o

It has occurred to me (and no doubt to many others) that there is a  Gnôme Monosoupape 9-cylinder rotary engine  lying around unused from this wondrous conversion.  I am wondering where that will appear...............perhaps as the motive power for a coastal motor boat, or a hydrofoil, or ........................................   Suggestions, please!

A Whiffed X-15 perhaps?  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

The 1/72 Monosoupape is indeed spare but TBH it's not much more than an oddly shaped blob.

Still, waste not want not.  Where's that 3d printed dinghy...

No, because I know how big (small) that engine is. ;D

Neat solution  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yeah, but i didn't think to check if there should be any rigging between the booms.

Still, it's non existence can explain the fact that the tail is slightly twisted.
