This american aircraft was a 1940s prototype fighter. It resulted from a proposal for a fighter with improved armament and visibility. It had a canard configuration a rear mounted engine and two verticals tails. However, this plane never saw mass production and stayed at the stage of prototype. It was sarcastically referred as the "Assender".
Ps: be gentle on pitch during take off, as soon as you've reached 200mph your plane will be stable and maneuvrable.
I hope you will enjoy it :)
