What a top couple of pix of that Spit!! Can't imagine what it would have bin like back in WW2 in the real thing being 20 yrs old & getting shot at!!!!!
Now if sumwun could invent a twin version of an RV 8 or so & call it an RV 16 then I might get excited & want one !

Well that's one way to ruin an RV, 
'jabadabado' that's one ugly airframe so far
I would imagine even you RV (Recreational Vehicle) lovers would agree that's 
!!
I think B Rutan designed a twin lighty that was a 'suck me blow me job'
, can't think of it's name but that was a good start
A couple of small turbines of around 250 gee gee's each would be sweet for a two place SAFE machine!

what he needs is to get a head start on the future, a small diesel engine in the nose, turning an electric generator, powering 2 electric engines on the wings, Chevy volt style. and Sonex aircraft have a few electric engines the size of the main wheels in diameter that are the equivalent of 150 Hp.
actually i have been thinking of building a savvy to operate like that, small 2 cylinder diesel turning a small generator, powering an 150 hp electric motor, now with a small diesel, and 110Ltrs useable, and a fuel burn of just over 5 ltrs/hr. and a 150 hp max in the savvy airframe, climb like a scalded cat, loiter for 22 hrs, and land in 50 mtrs!

Or strap a drone motor to one for a little more speed but apparently mot much more than 10mins useful endurance!
