Auto Credit Based on YuraCat's 1950-1960 Dogfight Tournament
Rambos tourney entry. AG1 folds wings (for fun) The Vought F7U Cutlass was a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber of the early Cold War era. It was a highly unusual, semi-tailless design, allegedly based on aerodynamic data and plans captured from the German Arado company at the end of World War II, though Vought designers denied any link to the German research at the time.[1] The F7U was the last aircraft designed by Rex Beisel, who was responsible for the first fighter ever designed specifically for the U.S. Navy, the Curtiss TS-1 of 1922.

@Carbonfox1 @CRJ900Pilot @BroAeronautics thanks peeps, the cutlass was one of my faves when I was a kid, a friend of the family kept building rc versions :)
Ah, the Gutless Cutlass. The Ensign Eliminator.

I love the F-7U despite the high accident rates and short service history, well done replica
