I'd be inclined to make two of the props "pusher props" behind the engines. Nice, original twist to a familiar dogfighter. If only the wheels folded into the wings... (18 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

Very cool adaptation of things from totally different time periods. BUT I GOTTA ASK, what happens to the propellers when the wings fold in, ouch!! KINDA MESSY! (18 years ago, 5-Mar-07, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) I'm not so worried about that -- if I buy in at $10, it (logically) doesn't matter to me how the other $490 is paid out -- I still have a 2% chance of winning. Plus, the issue is somewhat self-correcting. The "deep pockets" are more likely to (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.starwars)
