Another VTOL development from the 1950's, this time from Lockheed. A tailsitter similar to the XFY from Convair. This model does not have any weapons, although the wingmonted pods could be fixed with either cannons or rockets. This model is the full tail-sitting version, and does not have the temporary landing gear. This model will also take off from the ground in a vertical fashion. TAKE-OFF INSTRUCTIONS: Full forward on the stick and full throttle. Once plane has reached a straight line flight path, wait til 100+ MPH before rolling plane over. LANDING INSTRUCTIONS: Haha, Good Luck. Let me know if you have any feedback for improvements. Thank you for stopping by to look, and enjoy your flight!!
