"Pro" meant professional. Things start when the officials think that the Sentinel had a underwhelming performance for the cost spent in the making of that aircraft, and the engine still displayed reliability issues when doing certain manuevers. Based on previous experiences, they concluded that the 2-cylinder Xenodash was too weak in power, and that a 4 cylinder alternative should be used. So the Pro model came out, and instead of 4 cylinders in a cross, they came up with two pair of two in-line high speed pistons. They reasoned that such arrangement can keep the 2 rear propellers their current state, and leave more room for the much-needed propeller blades. The excessive complexity of a quad-crankshaft also make it more difficult to achieve the even higher RPM with higher redline at 95% throttle. Flight performance was a trade off, with the nose slightly heavier and a higher climb rate.
It have wing guns??!!
Well ... Go ahead and use those.

Got that right. My next move was to move this set of propulsion system to the land, then to the sea. The only problem is that the engine was a bit big for land usage.
I do alot of piston powered stuff, so I know something like this takes some good planning. This is a cool propulsion system, and you could make a no fuel boat with this too. Good job.
