I took out the following paragraph:
"One possible cause for the Me 210's terrible handling characteristics might have been the design of the wing's leading edge. The section inboard of the engines swept back at a steeper angle than the outboard section. The later Me 410 design made the entire wing leading edge the same angle from root to tip."
Perhaps this is true. The 210 and 410 have noticeably different wing designs. But this needs to be sourced, with a better source than a bulletin board, preferably a source you have seen with your own eyes.-Ashley Pomeroy 01:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
I had read, but can't remember the source, that the Me 210 was designed with the nose to short to improve agility, learning from the failure of the Bf 110 - but that this then resulted in the instability, and that Messerschmitt avoided the 'cure', a longer nose, for as long as possible because of the resulting loss of manoeuvrability.
