Want the center of thrust from the Pegasus (nozzles down) to go roughly thought the center of gravity.  About at the 1/3 of the chord. 



basically a fire wall forward replacement of the Elands, keeping the landing gear bay intact to the rear of the aft nozzles.

That's looking great Dave 👍 😀
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

FANTABULOUS!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

And possibly even LOUDER than the original Mk 1, if such a thing was possible!  :o

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! :)

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

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.
