S'winder hopper twins

[Smallworld]

Hi guys,
I'm actually working on two project hoppers at the minute, this pair and a transport, all single engine ships that fit into a small hanger. Will park the transport for a bit and concentrate on these. They are obviously closely related. On the left is the Sidewinder, which is a ground attack snd troop support ship. On the right is a scount / recon ship I'm calling Sightwinder. It can carry four crew if needed and is also armed. As I mentioned on the Swift thread a single swivelling engine is a tough thing to design around and still get everyting to balance. I went for an assymetrical layout here. I have carefully balanced the volumes and areas so that they should more or less be able to hover and still fly in a straight line. The Germans did a lot of work on assymetrical aircraft during the war and its not as nuts as it looks believe it or not
I'm really enjoying doing something different and left field. Effectivly they are assymetric staggerwing bi-plane space hoppers.
