Designed by Thomas Shelton, the 1935 twin-engined AG-4 Crusader was originally called Shelton Flying-Wing and Gyroplane.
All-metal construction. Twin-boom, twin-tail empennage with a nacelle fuselage; panted wheels modified to retractable in 1936.
Plans sold to Timm Aircraft Co to build proposed seven-place retractable-gear AG-7, but financing problems prevented further development.
The AG-4 Crusader NX14429 was dismantled c.1941 and stored at Van Nuys CA, and was destroyed in a hangar fire.
