OK, Well the tail dragger idea is out. The configuration with the anhedral stab would work (as I had planned it), but trying to visualize it, I have to agree with you that it just wouldn't look like a Tiporare.

However, I think I should have room to shoehorn the YS 4-stroke in the nose. It will be tight and is sure to elicit a stream of newly invented words at times, but I think it will fit.
