Sportsman Aviation Fw190 ARF - quality ?
I have the Sportsman Aviation Fw190 .40 ARF.
Its built nice,with good wood.
The only thing the sucks about the plane is the "BAD covering".
The covering is thin,peels up and will not shrink when heated.
Covering will also discolor when using a iron.
I sealed all the seams with clear monokote to help.
I have a .61FX in mine and flys good. I would not put a .46 Eng. in this,it would not be enough power.
If you can get this plane(FW190) "cheap" then go for it,if not do not pay top dollar for it.

At $99 thats not bad.
If you can,add the retracts to it.
Rich. is right, if you have the time,recover it.
I put it off until it get too bad or I`ll do over the winter.
For now I added yellow to the rudder and a yellow band around the fuse.
Added some FW190 decals+numbers too.
