Default New project: Prop-powered sport "jet"

Thanks, James.

Jeremy,

You're right about a jet needing inlets.

I'm not trying to beat a world speed record, but...

To avoid adding structure, (weight) and drag, I may do inlets graphically, rather than structurally, because I would like for this to be as fast as is practical with a stock engine and prop. Even small fake inlets, such as those on F-5 type models, add both weight and drag.

"Slick" is the design goal for me on this one. (It'll be molded glass)
