rc-horn my Fw190 is a wierd copy of the now discontinued Fw190 from CMP . ITs wierd because its a copy that is actually better then the CMP version .
It had a ring ply cowl mount so the screws could be incerted from the inside to hold the cowl , split flaps (while not correct it was easier to fix then starting from scratch .
Wood wing ve foam core . I will be starting a thread this week with pics on all the mods and progress .
So far built all the wing servos ahead of the main spar ahead of the CG turned on there side , this allows internal control of the flaps (semi scale) and external top control of the airleron (semi scale) -sierra retracts were added with major wing mods and gear doors are in the process of being made . I modified williams brother wheels with a bunch small scale details and fixes , added an IMP scale interior kit with 70 % being scratch built including the gun sight .
The canopy will slide and I reduced teh weight of my 7.5 oz Dragon brand german pilot to 2.5oz by replaceing the body with blue foam .
The most difficulty part so far was building the entire Sierra tail wheel outside the plane (including the mounts ) cables , airlines ect , then getting it into the plane lol .
I did figure it out and do have an easy method step by step if someone has a need to know .
It will be powered by my first gas engine a G26ei , I have always flown 4 strokes in warbirds from 91 thru saito 180 and recently a OS 200 was secured for my KMP corsair .
While people rave about gas , I am concerned over all the worries about how far the servos /received has to be from the engine and also having two batteries in one plane that need to be charged [:-]
As you know loveing all the servos , batteries , ect as close as possible to the front is kep in keeping weight down on an Fw190
