Looks nice! I have researched this plane as well as the BobCat pusher prop jet. The common problem I read about both birds was the landing gear set up can lead to a crash imediatly following take off. I guess they need to be set up a little nose high. What happens is if the nose is to low the wings act as spoilers on a NASCAR car and the faster you gou the more it holds the plane to the ground. The pilot by this time is pulling full back on the elevator and when it does rotate (probably because it hit a bump in the runway) it shoots straight up and stalls to low to recover. All because of landing gear set up...
