Trust me, it works, you put your main fuel tank in the other engine bay plus your batteries etc. this takes care of the weight situation. You might have a small off centre balance when the tank is empty but remember your single turbine is very close to the cetreline. The thrust being slightly off centre does not seem to affect yaw from the models I have seen fly.

Here is a good example. David Matthews flew this single engine F18 at the WJM in this configuration. The straight pipe also cuts down the power loss of a bifurcated pipe.
