yeah, but those from the 'Old World' have the handicap that such weird things with wings as the V-173 are not exactly located in our neighbourhood - never were.......

The shocking thing to me is that this plane only had 160 HP (two fuel injected 80 HP Cintinental 4-bangers). It could fly at a 45 degree angle of attack, hovering in a slight breeze. With more power (like the XF5U had) it could have hovered vertically.

Gee, Brandon, I already apologized, what else do you want from me for butchering your name ?
The F5U would have been cool to see what it could do. Too bad the Navy ordered it scrapped.

Yes I see, apparently Alan is also a former transgressor.
Sorry about that, Brent.
