Has anyone ever tried to model this?

access his website for a link, it seems it no longer exists. Don
seems to have vanished. Damn shame, he was was a prolific
modeler with really innovative ideas.

Making verticle take offs and landings with this would impress the troops and if it would fly 3D would be icing on the cake!

I believe some of the talented scratch builders could to something with this configuration.
