The second of the peculiar Vogt/Shauer airplanes, the V/S 201 "Kobold" was a mid-size, all purpose fighter. For some reason, this was the best seller of the three two-fuselage planes, perhaps simply because the tail assembly is more normal in appearance. It was also the least maintenance intensive.
     The "Kobold" could fly at a bit more than 250 mph, but like the other V/S planes was prone to sluggish maneuvering, despite reinforced wings. It carried an ample 930 lbs of armor. Also like the other V/S models, the "Kobold's" cockpit was rather small, though this allowed the pilot to withstand higher Gs than usual. It also featured remarkable visibility.
     As with the other planes form Vogt/Shauer, the "Kobold" carried only superior, Sperry-Browning weapons: two "Hurricane" .50-caliber cannons, two "Zephyr" .30-caliber machine guns, and a "Crusader" .60-caliber cannon. It also had six hardpoints, either for rockets or bombs.
     While the "Kobold" sold nearly twice as much as the other V/S planes, it still was not enough to save Vogt/ Shauer Designs from going out of business. More of them saw active duty than the other designs, but it is believed that most have been shot down or scrapped for parts. The only intact ones are in the hands of aircraft collectors.
