RE: park zone fw190 rtf
Just checked mine; it has that white tape in there too. No idea what its purpose is?
I haven't gotten to fly mine yet as the wing it arrived with was defective. I'll be an unhappy camper if the fuse goes and breaks in half once I do get it airborne.
OTOH, (though it doesn't help the two of you in this thread) there's a couple big threads about this plane elsewhere on this site and others and breaking fuselages has not been a common complaint. Maybe you guys just got a couple bad ones? Glad to hear that you've at least gotten it flying again.
