Ok. Now that I see it in color, I've seen another left sided view of that bird in a Google search some time ago. Amazing looking fw190. A friend of mine here is starting the design of a 1/3 dora. Im sure when it's completed, I'll have one to show. Thanks for sharing that wulf. Wish there were more.

Default Ta152

Over 5 years to get to this point. Two converted Meister D9 kits to make a 12 foot wingspan TA152. Using a Hacker 150 with Jeti 220 ESC on 12s at 10600MAH.

Need to CG and fly. It's time

Hi !!!!! stop searching , i 'm the guy at the left , i built/desgn this dora and molds to buid it , molds are stored not in my workshop because i just move to a new house ; short story of this model : it was built by a "team" of 5 guys the project was to make a "show" plane to fly them at events but the team "explode" 2 of them go for ultralight , an other abandon model aircraft , and one have serious problems and cancelled his project .... so i decided to sell my plane , the one near completion pictured on pics , now not able to fly such a large plane alone without the "team" ;but i have in project to make a new one latter when situation will be better (suitable workshop to build large plane , new flying field , .....) if new plane builded (for mine or if someone interested in) few changes will occur as partial vacuum molded parts to save weight and better enginered parts
two pics to show you that i'm also a " luft" plane fan (me 262 is of my own design full composite and same scale as airworld but flown 12 years earlier others are sists , fiber classics, petraush ,from scratch ............)
Charly
need to do a new account to post here as i usualy read and not post on forum for a long time ago .........love to see all the "wunderbar" planes pictured on this post ........

Thanks all for compliments

Hi Jim
my Sist have approx 20 flights firts flights made with a 3w120 and now have a moki 250 , cooling is tricky , baffling in cowling+ insuling of exhaust ring and hole added on the cowl ; no change on building (only one servo on elevator jr 8911 ) , weight 24,5 kg , my wheels are scale with 170 mm diam i buy them with the plane , look like Vogelsang have them ; this plane is heavy but not a bad flyer just have in mind to keep engine during landing ,not a floater but stall isn't insidious ; an advice for the building : keep the rear light and put all equipment in front !!!!!
a short video of first take off with moki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlCR2a7ymBs
you can PM me for further détails ...
Charly

first pics is my fw 190 petraush with moki 150
