Is this Blohm & Voss BV 141 ?

Looks like something designed by one of Dick Dastardly's sidekicks.

Catch that pigeon.............!!

I got a comparable result some days ago when I tried to convert a FSX aircraft to P3Dv4 .....

It's indeed the Blohm & Voss BV 141.

I will definitely grab it just to see how it behaves inside the sim....

The Blohm&Voss BV 141 is an interesting aircraft. Despite the asymmetrical layout it had excellent flight characteristics and I have read that Erich Klöckner, the chief test pilot for the program, even looped it. Before it could enter regular service it was succeeded by the FW 189, which is also a very unconventional design. But I think the BV 141 is in the top range of unconventional aircraft.

Thanks for the head up!

Cheers,
