GSP 109?? does that exist?? I see an FW 190..
Fat fingered the numbers. Sorry for the type - O. Anyway, my point deals with the fact that just because another plane by a vendor had some deficiencies doesn't mean that this one will. My point is that Hanger 9 seems to be pretty accurate with their engine recommendations and has probably designed, built and tested this plane around that engine. The point here is planning is one thing but giving uneduated opinion based on incomplete information such as the plane isn't going to be strong enough based on the P-51 isn't planning it is Bashing.
Plus the 190 came in at around 15 pounds based or so. Spitfire MK can verify this as it was his plane. Give or take a pound that will give you a higher wing loading on the 190 than the P-47.
Just one man's opinion
