A Wulf that size is just crying for a Moki 400 radial.

I love it!

I have the vailly 1/4.6 FW190. I would love to have a 1/3 scale one. I do have one question.... why not a 3W150 ? The cowl is plenty big.

I think I would put in the ZDZ 210 since I don't have the money for a moki400.

Please continue to report the progress and flight video.

Hello Joe !

Thank you for your response !
The engine has a power of 3w120 15hp. The FW 190 will weigh 25 pounds or 1.7 kilograms for 1hp. I think that's enough. In addition, the 3W 150 weighs more!
I'll be sure to add pictures here and video of the first flight !
Best regards

That's a mighty impressive Wurger. 25lbs????!!! How in the world did you achieve that weight? Most 1/5 scale ones I know of are coming in at that weight or a little heavier. That sounds like an impossibly light weight to achieve on a plane that size.

Hello Wulf 190 !

No, no, 25 french kilos are equal to 55 lbs for you.
And the scale of my FW 190 is 1/3, and not 1/5.
Is it ok for you?



Excuse my for my english, bui it's not easy for me to speak english !

What type of retracts will you use in this Focke Wulf ?

Hello,

The trains are manufactured by a friend.
They will be ready in March. I'll put pictures on the forum !

That certainly blows my Meister 102" away. It would almost be a sin to not install a Moki 400 radial. I'll bet Darrell could make the gear for that Butcher Bird.

Yes, nice video, but this is not the same mechanical system.

Very smooth action on the retracts. It looks good. Are they homemade?

Kwik, those are the retracts that Sis T has produced for their 1/4 scale A model.
