Auto Credit Based on ACMECo1940's Monthly Challenge #1
Designed as a small, inexpensive naval fighter / scout, the Firefly was the first small prop of its kind. A revolutionary delta wing with both pitch and roll controll enabled the easy and inexpensive construction of the Firefly. It cruises nicely at a rapid 400 mph, (640 kph) and has enough fuel to maintain that speed for a great distance. It is capable of very short take off, making it ideal for carrier based missions. It's very stable, the delta wing eliminating the need for rear horisontal stabilizers. Unfortunatly, the gear leg was a pain to place, but it works. Be sure to always pull up while taking off.
