Quick .. trade in the DA-100 for a RCS 150 or 250 radial !!!

:-)
Id have to agree...as there is no comparison in sound between the RCS radials(which are the same motors as moki from what I understand) as compared to a DA anything. Dino's plane has the 250 moki in it. Im sure the DA-100 can fly the 190, but its just gonna look odd IF the cylinders poke out the sides. But, hey, you've got a DA-100 already....so use it if you like.

The spinner was cut out for a three bladed prop.

Thats an A-6. I thought the Airworld was an A0-A2?

You are going to find the fuse a bit short in the nose and the antenna mount wrong, as well as the cooling vents (although looking at the Airworld kit, it looks like an A5-A6 fuse from the wings forward).

Are you going to sand off the nub mount and put the post mount on the tail?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the image is from: FOCKE WULF FW 190: From 1939 - 1945

LOL...I was gonna ask the same thign when i saw the pics.

Snake....the plane is looking real nice and Im impressed that the DA-100 fits inside so well.
Except for cost of course, I'd still want a 215 or 250 radial.....but...heck...not many of us have 3500 to spend on just a motor.

yeah i know....but you want big...guess you gotta pay for it huh
The DA-100 sure fits well and is a lot cheaper, but I got spoiled listening to Brain Omeara's Sea Fury with the 250 radial and also Dino's Airworld FW-190 with the 250 radial.

Here are some pictures of the throttle linkage and battery compartment. Hopefully this will help with the nose weight.

Yeah Dino's bord with that 250 is insane. That guy can sure fly. I'm just bummed I didn't get a chance to visit him before he moved!

I'm going with a GT80 in my Meister Fw 190D9. Putting a radial in the Dora just seems like a crime even if I could afford one.
