Unnamed featherweight

looking nice, you'd have space inbetween the motors for an actuator or something later on aswell

I'll prob go for 2 spikes on the front for the moment but I always envisaged it having dual spinners, but the engineering may get cramped and complicated for that

Dual spinners would look great but be a nightmare to work on.

You could do a hinged wedge on both side. Hinged in the middle so if flipped over it can flop over and still work as a
wedge :P

dual spinners wouldn't be particularly hard to work on, just a waste of potential. Far better taking a single wider lump of metal and spinning it up to speed than two smaller ones. If you don't believe me then do the basic kinetic energy calculations and it soon becomes obvious.
