Those little engines are even more puzzling in this set! There must be an element of lift, given their downward angle of efflux.

One might think that it was underpowered. It is indeed remarkable that I did not come to the same conclusion on this flight with all that stuff under the wings. But that is not the case! It is similar with the Vouga “Magister,” which has the same engines (also two).
