Can anyone tell me the wing span of the Sist Fw-190? I just finished a Platt Fw-190 and would like to compare the two models.
Thank you,

The Sist FW-190 1/5 scale has an 83" WS, the 1/4 scale has 103" WS.

Thank you, Forces R
Due to the age of the design, I can't find very much information on the Platt model. I hope to find out how the Sist model flies at various weights. They are close in size. I enlarged my model to an 82" WS, but it came out much heavier then I planned, due all the nose weight I had to add. (Ready to fly 29 lbs).
Thanks again,

I don't recall the airfoil used in Platts but the Sis T has a pretty thick airfoil. That helps a lot with lift.
The SisT can be flown at over 30lbs safely.
