RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
ORIGINAL: kahloq Hey Ram.... Im in need of a canopy for the 71'' 190. No one has spares and fiberglass specialties doesnt make anything close enough in size. Got any ideas? http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=860603 |
RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
ORIGINAL: Ramstein44 ORIGINAL: n8622t Here is a question, do you go with Inzpan or Iflytailies for the cockpit Jimmy I'd wait until the ARF comes out before jumping the gun on the cockpit.. Until we can test fit one be it that the ARF is in between both scales. Jimmy |

ORIGINAL: hellcat56 LETS all just talk about the model Talk about the plane isnt that is why you are on this thread I have a small 70 inch 190 I will be getting one of these BUT will robarts be air or Electric? Jimmy |
RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
To all interested, Tower just posted some specs on the plane, no manual, but size, engine and a few other notes.

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
Swastikas are much older than that. They were a symbol of good luck until the Nazi's used them as a symbol to bolster the spirit of the German people climbing out of a depression. Of course, now they carry a permanent stigma as a sign of deep evil.

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
At the Gilchrist museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma there's a picture of an Indian village. There is a swastika on the side of a teepee. Yes it's true that the swastika did not originate with Nazi Germany. It also appears in India.

Just when I think I have enough planes and I dont want any more
ANOTHER one comes out that i cant live without I will be getting one of these BIG bad boys with the ME 109 and FW 190 The paint jobs are almost unlimited- I usually try to find a scheme that is not common here is a shot of my 70in 190 russian winter not the usual paint job if they come out in time-lets have gathering at the Warbirds over Texas 2013 June 14-16 for the most unusual 190 Whatever you build it is GREAT to have a distriubtor bring out a NEW KIT |
RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
I seen the TF FW190 in action at Fond Du Lac this past weekend.
The plane was set up with a DLE 55 and was a rocket ship. The Hobbico respresentatives put on an impressive demonstration of it's abilities and I can say it not only looks the part but fly's extremely well. My only negative comment is that the DLE 55 at full throttle makes this thing zip around like a .40 size on steroids. The plane resembleded a typical Top Flight flyer. Nimble, precise and very stable no bad habits. The assembly is very similar to the P-47 ARC and ARF with a nice Hatch/Cockpit access up front. The Air Tank is positioned like the P-47 and all of the switches and Air filler are pre-cut in the same location. For those who would like to convert to electric this should be no problem. Plenty of room and good access. Nice scheme but it is common for many. If I was to do it myself I would strip the covering, glass it and do my own scheme. The Airframe is solid and it fly's extremely well. Z |

this thing i would bet is smoking fast with that 55. I have a sist i put a da 50 in and its smoking fast, but i had to add 4 lbs of lead to the nose. im going to add more motor even though the 85 will be over kill. And the hood guns that come with it simply will need an upgrade

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
Terry this plane may have a tail weight problem like you mentioned which could explain why the tailwheel option is a lighter Robart 160

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
You can alway speed up or slow down any plane with "proper" propeller selection. Engine size doesn't have much to do with it. (as long as the engine is capable of flying the plane to start with).
I've notice the Top-Flite demo guys like speed. :D Me too. |
RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
Terry,
The early style gun hood that it comes with is actually fairly close. The one you're showing there is for the A7 or A8. Unless your changing what model it is. Nate I think you're correct about the tail wheel. This bird will take everything as far forward as you can get and that still probably won't be enough to balance. I've been surprised with my Holman A8, that even if I put my two 5cell batteries(electric) in front of the firewall, I'd still need more weight to balance. Casey |
RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
The plane is overall very accurate to scale. The only real cheat was the horizontal stab and that was not excessive. Just taking the snap out of a stall:-)

I will make a mold for an A8 gun good for this bird. i have looked and to be up front they did a good job so i dont have a buch of mods for it. The only other thing i might do is make functioning gear covers. I have a feeling the fact the lower half is so large they need to be able to move up and down. |

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
Anybody electrify one yet? If so, what weight and set up? Also, still looking for a Sig P-51B ARF, NIB if possible, or new assembled in AZ. Wallace Tharp

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
Yeah, I would agree with Jeff, probably I would guess about 100mph with the DLE in it.....fast enough to make low passes ripping down the runway for sure. Having seen it, I would recommend against going with something like the 85, even if some nose weight is required with the 55. It would be silly power and there's too much throttle that would never be used in any condition really, so probably not only hard on the airframe, but silly to spend that much extra money for something that would never be used. Weight is a lot cheaper than more un-needed power, and there was certainly un-needed power with the 55 in there. It was a great combo with the 55...could fly it scale or make as big of loops as one would desire. A DA 60 would be a better choice if you still want even crazier power than the 55 offered.

RE: TF FW190 A3 ARF
85s swing really big 3blade props. Looks real good on the T-F birds
