Finally “Schneewittchen” is 99.9% ready. All steps of restoration were completed only checking the CG is pending. Yesterday tried to check the CG, but the CG tool I have is not compatible with “Schneewittchen” weight class. This a humongous beast of a model. Its 85” of length, 100” of wingspan its wing chord is 24”. I have to make a CG tool that can handle this “baby”.



Otherwise checked the servo operation and travel, checked retract operation, checked control surface travel and direction and finished cosmetic adjustment.



Hope to be able to construct the CG quickly and once more go thru the process of getting the FW 190 into the CG corral, tie it down and then adjust the CG. Sounds like wrangling? With a model this size, the activity is very similar.



Will post when ready for the field test and maiden.
