OMG!

looks brilliant eddie.

have you got as far as thinking how it will be painted? for those long overwater legs, it needs to be bright
and perhaps sponsored like racing cars.

as for the five throttle levers, why not a small 'bulge' in the cockpit entry door?

top notch idea!

If ever there was a candidate for a "PIRATE AIRCRAFT"...that, HANDS DOWN, would be the winner.  Nice Jolly Roger on the tail anyone?

Very clever !  are the engines going to be something you'd find in the Home Built area, like some Jibarrus or Rotax? will the props have little twin blades?

Knowing Eddie, more like scratchbuilt, 8-bladed (each) contra-rotating props!   -_-

Looking good.  What about tip tanks?  A couple of big honkers for all the gas that beast will use.

Good idea! I've got the drops from Elena's Corsair build. Had to buy another kit cuz "Daddy" lost the first canopy. Her 1st lesson about the Gemlins who steal model parts in the middle of the night. :rolleyes: ;D

Ahem...I've been taking the meds for some time now but I must ask: Is it too late to convert it to a T-Tail?  Would give it just that little extra modern oomph.

After all, it's a clinically proven fact that T-Tails make any subject look 129% better.   :mellow:
