I have been pondering a twin engine P-51D Mustang, one behind the other and the cockpit moved aft towards the tail. Yes I know the CoG would be way off, but anyone  want to take a stab at this doing a drawing? Would be a way cool reno racer with counter rotating prop, one for each engine and twin exhaust on each side. Have imagined it called "Slipstream" Sort of ala like the French Latecoere 299C2 and C3 twin engine fighter.

tat2,

that is insane.

You are clearly going to fit in here.

apophenia,
that is exactly what I was thinking of, where did you find the RB-51 twin engine pic?

... and also like the Machi-Castoldi MC72 Schneider Trophy wannabe. That also had twin V12s one behind the other driving two independent props.
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

Saw the topic title and immediately thought of a PT-6 twin-pack powered Mustang with the turbine exhaust ports located on both sides of the fuselage.

What would that do to the area-rule fuselage?
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.
