Kenny,

I'm inclined to agree with you on your suppositions. As far as design and engineering headaches go, I don't intend to design or engineer anything, I'm just gonna build the airplane relatively stock. I will add a few reinforcements here and there, along with a couple of shortcuts I learned on the last one, but otherwise I plan to build it stock. Part of the point is that I won't have to make the design mods to convert a twin to a single. The only unresolved question at this point is whether or not to bypass. Stock JetCat mounts can be used on the stock DF motor mounts easily if I don't try to incorporate a bypass system.

Dice,

Here are my perceived benifits to Twin V. Single:

Fewer construction mods
Better speed
2nd chance if a flameout occurs
