    Thanks Kelly. Might be worth scaling up to get the power to weight more in line. The one thing I do like about the nozzles is that it lowers the thrust line quite a bit and helps with pitch down tendency when power is on. This one has all the gas cans out of the tail that were in my other 130's I was able to shift the VTOL engine to get the CG where I wanted.

    Great c-130 base airframe! The nozzles are a bit too much (not a criticism, just SP behavior that impacts all my models, too) for the wing/tail to handle smoothly. I like this model!
