Default RE: Stiletto from Corvidae.net

I'm also sure that the JETT will outrun both MVVS engines. Nevertheless I like the sleek and streamlined shape of a rear-exhaust engine. The airframe is definitely going to handle well with the stress and speeds, but you need to secure the firewall very good. Adding strings of carbon isn't a luxury I believe. You can develop your own cowl for the JETT cylinder head, which should fit nicely and reduces drag. They also use this sort of solutions for Club20 racing.

If you're going to build your Stiletto, please keep us updated. I'm curious about the performance of the JETT engine.
