Goofy auugh trainer 💀

The Baronette BA-3 (otherwise called as "Burden") was a general aviation trainer, it was designed in the 1950s, it had a total production number of 1,567 units, it can carry up to 4 people, the captain, co pilot and 2 passengers. It had a single propeller engine, wings near the elevators (horizontal stablizers), however due to this weird design, there were a bunch of crashes due to the fact that it was nose heavy (meaning you would have to pitch up very slow), this design flaw caused all aircraft to be grounded by the FAA. The plane eventually returned to service after a new variant (BA-3B), the changes were that the wings were now moved to the front.
