That was why I was suggesting rotors and wings.

I think it should have these subassemblies:

• Body

• Retractable Wheels (two or three)

• Standard Wings (two of course, and called "standard" to set them apart from "STOL" or "high-agility")

• Top-and-Tail Rotor

• Full-rotation Turret (for the cannon)

• Limited-rotation Turret (for the MG)

The nominal propeller power could be scaled to get the listed cruise speed on propeller thrust alone, without the helicopter drivetrain.

Ah, now I see the problem. I forgot to list the rotor subassembly. It is in the design; just missing from the writeup. I'll correct the OP. The rotor and wing HPs were used in performance calcs, etc.
