Nicknamed by U.S. Pilots in World War Two as the "Ass Ender" (for obvious reasons), this airplane was known for its uncontrollable aero design. Hope you enjoy my recreation of a barely known push plane!

I've heard aboutt it
@Glaceon
A few test models were released, being tested both in wind tunnels and real life. There was only 3 models (I think) produced, one of which crashed and killed civilians.
Um... How was It named that by so many If It never went into production?
