Shoulda asked. ;) Did you grab that "Aviation History" mag with the
article on them? Mostly described the troubles B&V had getting the RLM
to believe they were serious. That says a lot about the prospects for
some of those wild and wonderful '46 designs.

If you think about it the idea is brilliant. Allied gunners would be
laughing so hard they wouldn't be able to shoot straight.

the early models were excellent flyers. it wasn't until they
re-enfined it that performance was lost.
if i were rich, i would have a model a built to fly to
airshows. with markings, of course.
