The Chance-Vought F-7u Cutlass. This plane was a flop, and was regarded as underpowered, poorly handling, and very "ahead of it's time" in looks. Functioning cockpit includes moving joystick and throttle lever and 3 indicator lights. G1=Green=Engine on. G2=Red=Air-to-Air missiles active. G3=Orange=Taxi mode. (Enables front wheel steering and airbrakes). Capable of very short takeoffs, (As it is a carrier fighter) even short enough for the USS Tiny. Takeoffs can be tricky, and I would suggest pitching up as soon as you start moving, or the plane can get jumpy. Also you can't trim the elevators, so I would suggest flying with "Mouse as Joystick" enabled.
