**As an engineering project in its own right the mk26b has merit and certainly begs the question why not a true 100% version with a 4-500hp v8!!! we can then have a crop of BoB films without CGI. (Kenley still available)
A real copy should have at least 1000 horsepower, so unless such an engine becomes available isn't it better to have an 80% aircraft with 400 hp engine, than a 100% version with 500?
