It's not necessary to have counter rotating engines on a model.
Ditto.
It is extremely glamorous, but completely unnecessary to have counter-rotating props. And, in my opinion, way too much hassle.
I am stunned and awed, however, by Bill's discourse on Saito's. There's an awful lot of information packed in that little post! I like Saito's and I'm tempted to set up a twin as you suggest, just for the intrigue (and, yes)
glamour of it all!
