8:40 Regarding the small intakes, Westinghouse engines were notoriously anemic, so they didn't need a lot of air. If their household appliances were as bad as their jet engines, they would have gone out of business before their first refrigerator had used up its warranty.
Yes there were many early US aircraft which were let down by Westinghouse engines. I think one pilot's quote from the time said that their toasters put out more heat than their engines.
Who hasn’t forgotten the nose weight? Nice recovery Dan. 👍
I know my daughter has at least once.
Good update. The Cutlass looks fantastic. Pfew!!!! Near disaster with the resin. I'm glad the apocalypse was avoided.

I was yelling NOSE WEIGHT! NOSE WEIGHT! at the screen but I guess you couldn't hear me - I tried my best Dan!
Hard to believe it could be a tail sitter when it literally has no tail!
Looks like something you would see in Thunderbirds :) hopefully the resin will set ok, model on
Exactly what I was thinking!
HAve you finished the model yet? I recently got this kit and am doing research before i begin my build :-)

Unfortunately some of the best looking aircraft were also the worst, like the XP-67 Moonbat, X-3 Stiletto, B-58 Hustler, just to name a few.
Yeah, those planes were all lookers, that were terrible.
