I would like to ask for some of your thoughts.
I am trying to think through an idea I have about making a few modifications on the Sky Pup.
One modification requires raising the center of thrust of the tractor configuration poloni engine.
The center of thrust would still be below the cord line, but I know for a fact you can't change anything on a aircraft design but the color without effecting something else. I don't know what this change would effect, but I know that you guys do.
would anyone care to point out any changes of how the aircraft would fly so I can continue or go back to the drawing board.

I am looking at making it into a flying hull, with pivot outriggers that also contain plastic wheels and pivot back into the fuselage when in flight. MTOW 400lbs. This weight is within the designers specs.

thanks in advance
