Oh dear.

Would you both like another juicy clue so that we can enjoy a race to the finish?

Looking at that silhouette and based on scale and the size you portray, that prop must be fricken enormous?

Then why oh why do only a handful of members participate? Seems odd.

The Seversky proposal was a gigantic 8 engine monstrosity. As shown in the patent diagrams and cover of Model Airplane News, it looked like a gigantic P-38 with a wingspan of 250 feet. The two booms have installed at their forward end two 2000 hp Allison engines geared to drive a single prop, one on each boom. These booms would also accommodate a number of passengers. The booms end in twin fins and rudders and are connected by a stabilizer-elevator.
