Thanks Mike,
Q1. Main wheels are very close
together. Would a wind tip it over? Single
main wheel and wing tip wheels might be better.Â
Possibly, but single wheel means it is already
tipped over. I've thought about 2 single wheels a
little further apart. More complex mechanism.
Q2. Where is the jet air intake?
Top of fuselage behind canopy. Pop up intake.
Q3. Is the jet thrust sufficient for climb out?
Should be but I'd like a little more while
preventing running the engine at more than 80%
thrust for longevity and reliability reasons.
My rule of thumb is Thrust weight or around .18
to 0.2 so you can get 0.14 to 0.15 T/W without running engine at 100%.

Looks like PW-5 wings and tailplane, nicer
fuselage and some really good ideas.
I've though for some time that dual wheels and
electric taxiing are a great idea although I'd
have made it a taildragger with steerable tailwheel.
