Might not fit here, but........

Over the years, I came across repeated statements that the F7U was developed from either an Arado project or a FW project!?

Does anyone know of such information or know specifically which ac lead to the development of the F7U?

Not directly, but the americans (as did the allies in general) 'inherited' much research conducted by german engineers in WW2. The cutlass was designed with this research in mind and whilst there may be some resemblance to arado projects, the internal strucuture, equipment, layouts, and other sundry issues are very much american.
