(Ed Note: We suggest that replacement of the Omni 175 engine with a VOX165 would be a viable and legal construction, and would reduce the total engine tonnage by 1.5 tons, while maintaining the desired maneuverablility of the design. No matter how good a deal you're getting from Omni, this is a serious consideration).
