F7U-3 Cutlass
History:
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. Regarded as a radical departure from traditional aircraft design, the Cutlass suffered from numerous technical and handling problems throughout its short service career. The type was responsible for the deaths of four test pilots and 21 other U.S. Navy pilots. Over one quarter of all Cutlasses built were destroyed in accidents. The poor safety record was largely the result of the advanced design built to apply new aerodynamic theories, insufficient thrust and unreliable engines.

== Gear button-landing gear
==Act 8-top light
Land at around 250, keep the speed up until you touch down, then brake and hold on for dear life and go easy on the airbrakes while in the air.

cool...
@VladCelTroll yeah haha, I'm sorry for anyone who had to fly this thing. Thanks!
@2411181496 thanks!
nice!
@Liquidfox oh, I'm sorry :( I was actually pretty surprised the part count got so high by the time I finished
@JetstreamAeroEngineering thank you!
nice job!
