BSY, what a great start! I have the 321 - you are tempting me. make it stop, make it stop.

Paul, I, too, wondered how it did fly every time I see one.

It's an opportunity to have the larger GB about Messerschmitt Lyle , going on Guinness book :D
Also if B&V is included in the ME series someone could sign in a bv-222 or 238.... Almost a 138 sounds well :)
BTW put a nesserschmitt on the table :winkgrin:
