- The only reference I have credits the F2A-3 with a 300mph maximum speed
- (about 480 kmph). Also a full-up weight of 7,160 lbs.
-
- The Finnish version was given at 5,160 lbs. Even if it wasn't faster
- in level flight, it should have climbed a lot better. Not so many
- engine fires up north, either.
