Does anyone know it the 1/5 kits are will be available in future? I see E got a 1/4 kit, just 5K is to far out of my price range. I think I'd die if I crashed it.

He said his CG was per the book. I will fly mine the same.
What is your weight so far? The wing on this bird with the retracts is so heavy. I still hear they fly nice.
Here is mine... I built up by rudder and elevators to save weight. I still need to add all the gear and then ballast... hope she is under 30 lbs.

Thanks Chris!!!
I looked a long time to pick one..... I found this on a warbird site. I have not been able to find an actual photo of an actual plane with the red and yellow on the nose... only the tail.

"This striking bird, Fw 190 A-8 Yellow 4 Chevron, beautifully showcases the Luftwaffe’s practice of recycling airframe parts. An older fuselage assembly appears to have been grafted onto a new tail unit. It also displays remarkable and unusual red & yellow stripes on the cowling that match the JG 301 RV bands on the rear fuselage. As with our other Advance Research Series decal sets, this one includes really superb quality photos of the plane." I found this explanation on a Decal site.

Anyone know if the saito fg84 will fit inside the cowling? I Saw this video on youtube and was wondering if it really will go inn without modifying the cowl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUEA...e_gdata_player

Small heads up, the SiSt (Stefan Sigmund) is not producing the Kits anymore.
The molds have however been bought by a very capable guy called Dieter Karrer. He will be going online with production soon.

Just a quick note.....for anyone looking for engine choices. The Ridge Machine D & B 3.7 twin fits perfectly within the cowling, mounted carburetor on the top side. Spark plugs and caps fit into the cowling bulges, no cowling cuts required! Just started flying mine in this configuration and VERY pleased with it.
