After playing around with the PX-2B Swallow Tail Ultralight I managed to strap a pair of the big engines to it. It's top speed isn't as fast as the PX-2C Swallow Tail Black Streak (race), but can turn a lot tighter. After a bunch of test runs it's also more reliable through the Daredevil course, which is why I'll be entering this in the tournament instead.
