A Russian plane designer had come to the Blohm und Voss company, asking for them to build his design. Aparently his home country did not wish to fund the project. But Germany, being ever daring, took on the challenge. (OPERATION) When taking off ease back on the stick, she has a tendency to pitch back right after takeoff. When off the water move VTOL up all the way to retract the floats, and down to the center when landing. Tell me what you think! Enjoy!

    You're right, this is pretty cool. It could be a number of things, release time/day (looks like you posted it on a Tuesday), or the fact it's a fictional build (very cool, but replicas seem to do better) or because it's grey. I personally really like grey airplanes because that's how the USAF paints most of its fleet....buuuuut....brightly colored airplanes get far more attention.

    I really like it, some unique features here, so here's an upvote and an encouragement!
