Notes:
-Tends to roll to the side in flight
-When pitching be careful not to spin out

History: Messerschmitt, after the complete success of the Me-262, decided to create a propeller-driven attack aircraft. The result was the Me-564. It sat one pilot on the far forward section of the fuselage to give them the highest amount of visibility possible. It only served for a short time before the war ended, but those missions were sccuesses with no losses to enemy aircraft (one pilot was forced to crash land, but the aircraft was mostly intact).
