Why do you think we get so temperamental!

Country: | What, you don't like the flexi-fuselage design?  You have to admit, it is amazing how evenly spaced the cuts are.

Country: | I have seen that picture before and have seen it almost happen live. A propeller is a very nasty thing that really dose not care about what it might hit.
As for the Bv 144 that would have been a grand project, they created some good seaplaes for the war. Plan_D, most crews could take care of the plane them selves. if it were an anphipian it could be looked after on land or we could build a ew seaplane ramp in Miami
Because we would be useing new designs say the Ca 415 or Be-12 though that is not a new design we could work on it.
