Off with the T-56 engines....



On with the new....



Looks like a good amount of thrust

[PR19_Kit]

That should improve the climb rate no end. 

[Captain Canada]

Oh yeah. Looks good already !

[kitnut617]

Can you imagine VIFF-ing in that   

[sandiego89]

Engine #1 and #2 on

[kitnut617]

[JayBee]

Outstandingly wonderfull.

From head on that will start to look like a B-52! Nice work!

Is it going to be a STOL, or a STOVL or even a VTOL?

I think super STOL.  I have been wrapping my head around VTOL, center of thrust, center of gravity, trim, etc. and just can't imagine a workable VTOL.  I put the engines a little far forward, perhaps too far, but they look great there, and preserves the original wing mount.

Going STOL, you won't have to worry about 'puffers' then ----
