Thanks for the reaction William.

This is the first twin design I'm looking at. However, I think I will be building a twin trainer of some sort first. Something simple to practice on single engine landings and stuff. Any designs out there you would recommend for this purpose?

Why would you use out thrust on the engines? Is this done just to get some airflow on the rudder at low speeds? Or does this help in an engine-out situation also?

I will be putting the wing at an incidence and use some wash out. I think it would have rather nasty snap characteristic without it.
