i don't know if i showed this. but i remembered this when Pima air and space. the engine is the same one used in CH-47. i put this on the FB page for Twilight (not the official one). this could be used for those that cannot pass helo flight school or transports. the prop will take a few different types. it also might be good on your light CVs. it can carry gun pods, rock pods and Iron bombs. don't know how it would deal with PGMs and the like....but a rack of sidewinders could be nice...they put them on old A-10s. maybe Stinger mounts recovered from AH-64 and OH-58 program. Air-to-Air Stinger (ATAS) antiaircraft missile pod. oh the nice thing about it using the same engine as the CH-47... the parts are in the supply chain. forgot the link.
