This is the red duckling airliner BV231 it was put out of use during the 1990's because of its high accident rate proving to be unsafe this was caused because of the landing gear being exposed and at high altitudes the landing gear would snap and woul break away the wing causing these airplanes to crash and this was the last plane that red duckling made and it was the last plane to ever roll out of the factory floor also how to spot a red duckling they awlays have long tails that are very ugly CONTROLS: Vtol up landing gear MADE IN TAIWAN
