I do like the multi-engine sound that did almost maybe give an idea rather the single engine MP engine, wonder if they are thinking of a waterborne flight, that be interesting.

Very nicely done - The undercarriage necessary for practicality is well hidden, and he flies it in a suitable way that suits the aircraft (unlike the beautiful B29 a few years back that the guy flew aeros with!). Notice during the start sequence that the engine pods are alternately staggered back and forward to provide prop clearance - an accurate detail on the original that not many people are aware of!

Bruce,
I was not aware of the engine/prop staggering either, so thanks got drawing this detail to our collective attentions! This model also seemed to perform something like the original (which was very seriously underpowered despite the number of powerplants) and I was having some worries about its climb shortly after take off, and during its turn to starboard.

Yeah, that take off was a little like it didn't have much grunt. Nice and scale.
