Vought F7U Cutlass

[pheeph]

This craft is based on the F7U Cutlass in real life. The Cutlass was said to be ahead of its time. However, this ship had a high accident rate that it didn't stay in service for that long... But unlike the one in real life, I put a reaction wheel into my version of the Cutlass. In KSP, that thing can take off at a really short distance, and fly really high. I managed to fly it around Kerbin, but fell short of reaching the runway...

Interesting choice of planes to recreate.

Yeah, since other people were already recreating well-known aircraft such as the F-22, Mig-21 and such, I decided to recreate the more obscure or short-lived Air Force planes.

Ooh, I really like the F7U Cutlass, it's got such an interesting design (and quite frankly, just looks cool).
