Default Time to re-engine the RV!

I think eight of these should do the trick!

The cool part is the RV would come out looking like a B52!

Even better is when you hit TBO you can simply print a new one.

This is a new use of the word "simply."

So true!

I think the biggest problem would be figuring out where to put eight throttles! That makes me wonder what Dayton of DJM would come up with!

Naaa; your biggest problem would be where to put enough fuel to operate long enough to get off the ground. Makes battery energy/weight ratio look good. :-) (See previous thread.)
