Chris, I am putting the electric start in this plane and probably my pilot sbach 50cc, I ordered two of them... John Smith had it on his wulf, too cool to watch it start on its own. I think it could be a valuable safety feature if you have a flame-out and need to restart in the air. Since the 190 needs weight in the nose, might as well make it useful!

N8622t.....If I get him up there......the pack will be after me. and my FW-190 Ram got me to do theFW-190A build.....okay but I put a twist to it. here are my decals.
My paint came came in from Klass Kote....We are getting the rain this week and the weekend is going to be hit or miss. I need to run my (baby)......STUKA. DARNDARNDARN........the wifes computer keeps
locking-up. edit #2. with the rain I am down in my war roon drawing out plans to put (make) a starter system in one of my units. it will be cheaper.six parts needed.
Think about a heli setup....this cumputer is still not letting post a pic on this edit.

Which engine are you using?
Actually you should start a thread just about that install and a video. Thats a fun project!

Yeah that electric starter system is cool. I can't wait to get mine in. I ordered two engines with and three starters for current projects and my future TA-154 build from SDShobby.com. The problem is the shipping, it looks like a deal until you see the shipping price..[:@][:@][:'(][&o]

RE: TF FW190 GIANT ARF
Thunderboat42: I'm not sure exactly but I believe it is talking
about the unit that the FW 190A came from and Now the unit that it was
attached to After it's capture.
Yeah the name is something that I represent. Most of all my planes are what
they flew during their tour of duty otherthan the JU-87 and the FW-190A I am doing now.
This FW-190 is going to be nice when I compleat it. With lights and a sstarter system. Why pay $110.95 + &65.00
shipping. Then get a bag of parts you have to Assemble. You can get the same parts from Ace Hardware or your hobby shop for under $50

That Electric Starter looks cool, any idea if it would fit inside of the Cowl of narrow Warbirds like a P-40 or P-51; also, do you use an onboard battery or remote battery?

RE: TF FW190 GIANT ARF
Since nose weight is needed in the Fw 190A for proper CG anyway, it makes perfect sense to use "weight" that is useful. Electric start would be very useful weight. Much better than lead as far as usefulness goes.
When I was working W/smaller sized aircraft I used to take the nearly completed airframe to the LHS & select an engine that was heavy enough to nearly balance the CG. Shifting battery packs was always enough to get CG fine tuned.

Oh I don't know, I applaud the gentleman for trying to do something different.... I think you're being a little harsh Nate... Double 00 buck really?
Personally have seen a lot worse... German paint schemes can be rather tricky at times and have seen a lot of those botched up pretty bad.
