I must admit, the fact that the OP hasn't engaged in any subsequent discussion on this thread, suggests to me that the Columbian Marching Powder theory may carry weight.

This is a fun discussion, but clearly not bedded in reality.

Continuing the fun, perhaps the OP should consider resurrecting this project - a stretched Vampire T11 otherwise known as the Jetcraft Mystery Jet:



I have to confess I've always wondered about the CG range of this conversion.

I'm amazed this thread has been taken even a bit seriously. A person yet to gain even a PPL proposing to use an L39 as personal transport?

I noted at the beginning the OP is in Finland. Isn't that where Trolls come from?

I rather think they were first reported in (what is now) Norway. But today trolls prosper in many environments.
Then again, anybody can create an account, mentioning any name and any location.

Does the passenger Wampire fly forwards or backwards? - there certainly seems more vertical area forward than behind the wing CP.

Very pretty, but probably not realistic enough to have ever made it onto Thunderbirds - although it certainly has the general look.

That looks rather nice, was it for real or just built as a film prop ?

Fascinating, does the airframe still survive somewhere ? Interesting that so many years later the Adam's A700 uses a similar design concept.
