I like the flowing lines. The only suggestion I have would be to round off the tips of the horizontal stabs so the lines flow more like the wing tips. What's the intake area? What retracts are you planning to use?

Tips on the tail will be changed tomorrow - thanks, don't know how I missed that. The intake area on the Turbine version will be about 5950 sq mm, but the EDF version will be about 9000 sq mm to cope with the 120/128 mm fans that will go in it.

I generally use RA250's, or LADO, Jet1A or Behotec. All pretty standard sizing.
Thanks Chris. So it looks like the Schubeler DS-77HST or DS-94HST would work. I'll be watching the progress.
