HI! This is my first post and with that i bring you my "new" project. The basic premise is to enlarge the guillows fw-190 plans as a basic starting point and change it all!!! As of now I have designed the wing and cut one test panel to test my prowess with my new foam cutter. The basic specs are wing area = 370 in^2, wing span = 44 in, power will come in the form of a .25 OS LA that i have had lying around. The plans were scaled around the wing design to give an acceptable wing loading of around 21 - 22 oz/ft^2 which also (thankyou Kurt Tank) yielded an acceptable tail moment arm and tail surface areas. Would love to know how to go about forming a canopy and/or cowl. Will post pictures if intrested.

Wing Manufacturing has a pre-formed cowl and blisters and also a canopy for their .25-.40 sized FW190 that you may be able to use or adapt that can be purchased seperately from their short kit. They may also be able to make a custom cowl and canopy if you provide the mold or plug. They are very nice and easy to deal with people there. Check out their web site for more info.

I built a 54" wing span Guillows fw-190.
The Wing MFG kit is 54" also, which you could probably use parts from.
For my cowl, I bought a $5 surplus cowl from a Hobby Shop, which I believe was from a Sukhoi. I cut it down, and it fit perfectly. Robart makes an inexpensive fixed landing gear strut, which fits and looks good. Is this project still going?
