Default New RV twin?

OK, OK...I made this myself, but when I am on duty and the aircraft are all flying (rarity that they all work) why not let my mind wander a little...I got thinking about the twin mustang...the P-82, so I though "I could do that with an RV8...so here is my dream.

Sticking the hulls together is the easy bit. Getting each occupant to agree on engine, kit and paint is the real challenge.

Default Interesting

This would be a truly unique proof of concept aircraft for Van's! I mean, I'm sure it can be done. If I had the funding, I'd certainly give it a try!

Default Not for me

Two canopies.
Two cowls.
Two sets of engine baffles.

And when you get all that done you've only finished one airplane!

Cool to look at though.

I want to fly, no I want to fly, let's go here, not let's go there, I built half, I built the better half........... I agree, two canopies, two cowls, two sets of baffles and one airplane. Looks way too cool though.
