very stable, for take off you need to go a little to the left with the vertical estabilizer to go rigth in the take off. Back in the late 1930s when it appeared that the Nazis would rule the world, Germany decided it needed an observation plane that had great visibility to scout out targets. Bv submitted the Blohm und Voss Bv 141, which had an asymmetrical layout: a tail boom with a radial engine on one side, and a shorter crew compartment (complete with camera) that was almost entirely windscreens on the other.
