I suppose if you beef it up in enough places this could work. But since the wings are partially sheeted with low quality balsa and covered with Chinese monokote, you may have an issue if you pull too many G's in a high-speed turn. If you fly it slow and scale like, you may just enjoy a few flights. I still think you will be throwing a ton of weight in the nose too offset having two turbines in the nacells.
The wings are fully sheeted .. and the P20's weigh less than a 90mm fan and motor ... but it will require weight in the nose with out a doubt...
