Very cool, Brian!  Love the Lycoming engine. Visually subtle, and yet outrageous at the same time.

Rickshaw may be assuming that the Spyhawk R-3 is carrying twin drop tanks. Those protubrances are, of course, performance-enhancing semi-retractable spats!  ;)

Love how prop & engine blend in with A-4 design so well :)  Works when I think it shouldn't.
