Do you go with four or six axle engines?

Agreed, 6-axle engines.

Would you rather paint your engines a dark color like black or some bright colors like GLC or LSRC?

Would you rather be really good at flying drones or model jets/planes?

Brisket... om nom. Used to visit Mississippi a couple times a year and got brisket each time down there. Sooooo good.
