Yuck.
But then again I have never liked nor understood the "goonybird" concept in the least.

I do like the Semroc Goonies.
The Baka and Gee'hod are hilarious.
I wish they would make a MEGA/SLS version of both with MPR components.

Grab a piece of BT-80 and a SBB/Broadsword nosecone and build yourself a couple. The BT-80 will handle any commercial G motor, even with weight added to the NC. I'm not too sure if it would handle Jim's (DPS) old G200-ish full G EX motors, though.

It looks like the Jetliner is using flat engine nacelles. Would have been nice to see a couple of tubes slung unerneath, or better yet white foam. Still and all it is an appealing little model. Perhaps an modified tail fin to create an L-1011 or DC-10.

On second look it seems that there is but one nacelle slung beneath the centreline acting as a fin.

Let's see - short length of BT-60, Big Bertha/Baby Bertha nose cone and 13mm motor mount - yup - it's a Goonie!
