From Wikipedia:

"The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engined fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War.

Designed initially for service on Midway-class aircraft carriers, early production F7Fs were land-based variants. The type was too large to operate from older and smaller carriers, and only a late variant (F7F-4N) was certified for carrier service."

Watch your throttle and pitch settings, and be careful not to overspeed your props too much. VTOL for positive prop pitch, and down for negative. Center is neutral.

HAPPY FLYING!

    @A5mod3us you should make a grumman skyrocket, but a bit more scale than your Thunderscout. i have already made a skyrocket but it was made with the old engines. it would be cool to see one made in beta version
