From looking at the pictures in post #29 I can tell that the struts are too long. The Falcon 120 was designed with long struts so that a rear mounted prop will clear the ground. Obviously you copied that from the Falcon 120, however prop clearance is not a concern with a turbine.

The plane looks odd with such long struts and the extra leverage makes it easier to rip out landing gear mounts on a rough landing. For these reasons a lot of guys shorten the struts when they convert a Falcon 120 to turbine. The tornado would look a lot better if you shortened the struts by 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Additionally it would be beneficial if it were designed to accommodate knee action struts, such as Prolinks
