Not even *I* would want to try that.  I gotta talk with
someone who was there ...

Convair built a handful of screwball delta-wing jets
in the early 50s.  The seaplane was the F-7 Sea Dart.
It worked, sort of.  I have a book that has a chapter
on it.

Is that Air & Space article on line anywhere?  I'd 
like to know more about little Japanse planes.

Thanks.
