Auto Credit Based on corey1324's V-173 Flying Pancake

For @WWIIPlaneBuilder "X" challenge. The XF5U was an experimental naval aircraft. It was canceled in 1947 due to over budgeting and loss of interest. the version I have here can't pitch almost at all, or take off. I still fit it with landing gear so it can look cool on the ground.
