I prefer the painted one. The mismatched engine cowlings don't work for me.

If I recall correctly, one of the EMS operations in Australia was seriously considering one of these.

I don't know much about they work. Do both engines power a common gearbox to keep both props turning if one engine fails? Does the wing take over the load for gliding if both props stop? I wonder if these things have been tested if so.
