Not worth the risk.

I do hope he changes his mind, for the plane will be the last of his worries.

There is a reason why the plane is called a Tulipolev and the airline is AeroFlop...

Hmm, lots of engines is good, so is lots of tyres, high wings also good (body acts as a pendulum to encourage return to level flight) , anhedral wings (sloping down) always disturb me as it encourages instability. Dihedral wings (sloping upwards) tend to return the plane to level flight if you take your hands off the controls.
What really scares me is when I see a plane which uses hydraulic components I designed straight from university, I used to pass exams based on the approach and intermediate workings but rarely got the final answer correct
