*** Mk2 This version has slightly improved handling as well as a more accurate look. ***
As should be obvious from the asymetric design, balancing this bird was a hell of a job. Ultimately, I'm very pleased with the result. It's not 100% perfectly balanced and particularly the pitch takes a bit of a feel, as it also slightly rolls the plane, but overall, it's still surprisingly stable.
Please rate, comment, enjoy. Also, look at my other planes. Thanks.
Historical info:
The Blohm & Voss BV 141 was a World War II German tactical reconnaissance aircraft. It is notable for its uncommon structural asymmetry. Although the Blohm & Voss BV 141 performed well, it was never ordered into full scale production, for reasons that included the unavailability of the preferred engine and competition from another tactical reconnaissance aircraft, the Focke-Wulf Fw 189.
