Following 3 successful test flights (in primer, no details), this is the first flight of my nowcompeted Flyboys Models Blohm & Voss BV141B. The BV141 was the only asymmetrical aircraft to reach series production (20 were made including prototypes). This is an "extreme makeover" of an old, long outofproduction ARF (acquired NIB), which has taken almost 5 months, including electric conversion, rebuilding the tail surfaces, fully sheeting the wing, making the outer panels removable, adding flaps, painting and numerous scale details. There are more than 3 dozen 3D printed detail parts, all done in Tinkercad, with the exception of the two crew figures. With paint and details added, including a fairly complete crew gondola interior, the flight weight is now 18 lbs 10 oz (2 x 4s4000 lipos).
