Sorry. Maybe I have to mention that... Bucarest international airport is named Henri Coanda. Your model was a nice mustang with a thermojet, like the coanda so it was just in the subject. thanks for the Twinanda (it reminds me the bonanza... a V-tail).
what about a Beech Twonanza ?  ;)  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Dear Archibald,
On the Great Planes forum ( http://www.tgplanes.com/Public/snitz/topic...p?TOPIC_ID=1164 ), about the Caproni-Campini, Grifo wrote interesting things: "CC.2 was often described in italian with the term 'motoreattore', that can be translated in english more or less as 'jet assisted by an engine'."
I directed to your great Coanda, poorly known.
It reminded me also the later MiG I-250, see http://www.military.cz/russia/air/mig/i250...images/trup.jpg
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Thank you very much nice guy! There was very few aircrafts powered by this kind of engines...you are perfectly right about the I-250, there was a sheme of it in an article of the fana dedicated to the russians derivatives of the HS 12Y (Aparently the Japanese studied a engine like that for a manned flying bomb (can't remember the name)

I do like it but feel it needs spats.

Spats?!  What the ----?!  Where'd THAT come from?

Help!  Help!  I've been infected.


Spats!

Worse than Turets---SPATS!

Nice model, anyho---SPATS!

Got to >>SPATS!<<<

:o

I'll get you for >>SPATS!<< this, Brian!
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Wow and here I am thinking all it really needs is a T-tail.

I'll get you for this T-tail-Man-Ho.  ;)

Sorry to say that but the plane had no T-tail...  it had an X-tail!
V-tail upwards+ V-tail downards if you prefer ;)
