Although the P-61 was successful for its time and intended to serve as an inexpensive carrier to launch various bombers, it never had a large following. The biggest reason is that it took aircraft carriers as long as more than a decade to be able to carry more than one airplane, while cheap and easy to build fixed-wing aircraft had already taken over. Also, because of the radio control system, single-engine aircraft were not as easy to operate. The P-61's cabin was also too small for two pilots and a radar operator.
The Skunk-Quickie single-seat trainer version (1952) used the same upper and lower wings, and wingspan of a twin-seat trainer. Only the first 13 were produced, by May 1952. Its only aerodynamic difference from the normal trainer was that it had a one-piece windscreen, and two small side windows. The aircraft was powered by a Wright J65 radial engine of 180 hp (130 kW). The Skunk-Quickie was flown widely by hobbyists, who recorded some 1,200 hours of flight time as of 2014.
The so-called "Single-seat Single" version (1956) differed from the trainer except for the provision of a second seat in tandem under the nose. Its rear fuselage was the same as the trainer version, whereas its forward fuselage was that of the original trainer.
A single Skunk-Quickie of the original trainer variety was operated as a civilian sport biplane by an American, Jimmy Doolan. He took it on a record-breaking flight from New York to San Francisco in July 1949, doing the trip in just under 13 hrs with one refuelling. d2c66b5586
