The XP-55 Ascender was an american prototype fighter that was cancelled at the flight test stage. The 55 had an unusual canard configuration, rear mounted pusher engine and tricycle landing gear. Only three were ever built. This model is capable of going around 550mph, and perform tight turns. As long as you're mindful that this plane can stall, you should be perfectly fine. When flying this model, try to takeoff before reaching 300mph, takeoff really is the hardest part.

@Liquidfox Thanks! @Xogo Mostly made this one for fun, not exactly a stickler for perfect detail :)
Very, Very nice. I will say (And I'm gonna apologise before I say this, because conscience) it's not perfect, there are a few things that are a little off, but they can definately be forgiven - especially for a replica that manages to be so small.
This plane was known as the "Ass Ender" by pilots
@bskngshrk I've never seen a J7W before now. They do look very similar.
No problem. Cool looking plane, reminds me of the J7W
Thanks for the upvote! @bskngshrk
