Why?

Outside of the fact you already have the ByroJet "pusher" fans and $ invested...the net return from this investment is not going to yield the power to weight to meet your expectations. There is a reason those two large cheater holes are in the bottom of the fuselage just ahead of the fans. A pair of 110mm JetFan or Hacker on 12s generate 40+ pounds of thrust or 30+ on 10s. Not to come off sounding negative...there is a "huge" blade pitch differential / performance diff.
