The engines are parallel in the mid mounted version and very close from each other. The thrust pipes are divergent, they are aiming approximately 2ft in front of the CG.
My 1/5.75 F18C is finished but I can't do the first test flight because of the RPM pickup interferences between the engines. I'm waiting for a mu-metal screen ordered few days ago. I'll keep you informed.
