Hiya everyone! Continuing on my list of american jet fighters, here is the Vought F-8 Crusader. Designed in the '50s as a replacement for the F-7U Cutlass. It served primarily in the VIetnam war, and was the last fighter with guns as the primary weapon (Earning it the title of: "Last of the gunfighters"). Comes equipped with 2 large bobms and 4 assorted missles, as well as guns (Of course). Comment, Rate, and Enjoy!

It is great! But some tips. I don't know about other users, but the yaw is backwards and you should really but bigger control surfaces on the horizontal stabilizer. It makes the plane more agile. Other wise, I LOVE IT!
Didn't the f-8 have a shorter nose?
No mod version plz
Awesome job! Amazing modeling. ..
glad you think so @hellcatz!
its ok...but needs more fuel fix the rudder.... ITS STILL AWSOME
Looks are good but the engine doesn't need to be hundreds of times more powerful that stock..
Great!
Thanks @NewAir!
Thanks @Meawk, @MrSilverWolf, @Allstar, @SUPERSAMROCK, @Squageheimer, @Sirstupid, and @PlanesAndThings!
Glad you think so @Blueshark01!
Looks really nice, it also looks just like the real plane
ha! Sorry about that. It was either it be a lean, mean fuel eating machine or a plane with the handling of an elephant @bjac0!
@Aviation i didn't even notice the problem, i crashed on the first flight cause it guzzles fuel as quick as i chug mountain dewritos (insert dank meme here)
Thanks a bunch @Meawk!
Thanks @bjac0, @RedHawk, @Nomon0rumeral, @Baldovino, and @Jetliner!
I wasn't aware of that rudder issue. Hope it hasn't really affected the flight or anything
