BV 141 Recon Plane

15 BiggieCheese  27 days ago

The plane has pulls you to the side when you take off so make sure to apply opposite yaw to counteract this until you are in the air. Flies normally once airborne. I always thought the Blohm & Voss 141 was a super interesting aircraft with its asymetrical layout and wanted to see if it was possible to replicate in SimplePlanes. My version is more of an inspired by rather than a true replica as the actual plane had a glass cockpit that covered the front and I was too lazy to figure out how to do that. Thought my version was kind of interesting and I got it to actually fly somewhat normally. Good luck!
