This is the best shot I have, yes the intakes go straight through to the turbine.
You will have to speak to Dreamworks about the struts. However they will be supplied with electric retracts and brakes. So hopefully that will suit you.

She is now sorted, new retract valve, increased the amount of flap movement, painted the inside of the canopy to give a better outline and near perfect conditions meant Stuart could really wring her out.
He really did take liberties with her. Take off's off grass in less than 50', landings with that extra flap movement can now be done from a vertical dive. He pulled her up vertical to about 400' rolled her over, throttle down, full flap into a vertical dive level out and land and still use less than half the runway.

Now starting to get to grips with the Ventrix, demonstrating its short take off and landing capabilities

Thanks to Todd and especially George for giving me a ride on the new Ventrix at FIF!
Takeoff was very short on a P-100, definitely less than 100'. It flys "big", feels light on the controls and just feels very "locked in" even without a gyro. I noticed a smidge of coupling in KE, which I'm sure will mix out. No bad tendencies at all.
I gave it back to George to land, but it looked like butter - no hoppity-hop - It just planted and rolled out. This one's gonna be popular!

Sent you a PM asking permission to use a couple of these in the magazine
