Would fully second Michel here, including his explanation, how this this designation came into being.Have searched for the "Me 323 Z", too, and yes, it's mentioned in some sites, including Wiki, but I couldn't find it in the other publications I have, not to mention just a single photo, that could be regarded as a prove, that this version ever existed.What is mentioned in nearly all sources, is the excessive effort demanded from the pilots to steer this aircraft, with sometimes up to 80 kg of pressure needed on the control wheel. In a twin version, this may not have been doubled, but it certainly wouldn't have been reduced, and it's hard to imagine, that power assisted controls would have been incorporated into, what would have been a flexing and wobbling vehicle.
