Default FW-190D larger size recommendations

I have built and flown the Pica FW and just love this bird, the way it flies, looks etc etc. I have a pic in photo gallery. I would like to build a bigger size About 80" span +/- . Can you give me any ideas on high quality complete kits. I have built alot but dont want to fight a poor quality partial kit or one that is
old technology. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thx

Kirk:

If you are willing to build from plans, one of the magazines had a 190 D9 about five years ago. Think it was around 80" or so.

Kirk , no problem they were published in two consecutive issues, but note the plans are for Ta-152 which is the close cousin of FW190-D9. I will post it tonight.

So right. It was the Ta-152. Just brain fade, sorry.

RCM listings for Ta-152 plans:

TA 152H (FOCKE-WULF) 2&6 #1242 11/97 38.00

TA-152H1 (FOCKE-WULF) 2 #485 4/72 8.00

Northwest Hobby Tech has a FW-190 in that size range. A bit unconventional construction with foam cores sheeted with balsa, but they fly great. I think there might be one NIB for sale in the Warbirds section. Would work well with a 40cc gasser, OS160FX, or similar.

Default FW D9

Bob Holman has plans and a fiberglass semi kit. I've got mine about half built. Not too bad a deal.

William beat me to it. The RCM article was published in November and September 1997. This is 94 Inches wing span model of TA 152H. designed for OS 108 2-stroke by David Andersen.
