Great video my friend. Iam dreaming of this baby from the moment it was released. Hope to have it someday for the test. Big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

This is the kind of modding that gets the mouth watering. Weathering and updating the look is what it's all about! It looks really great, good job! But sorry did you hear the sound of that thing in flight? Wow I love this model 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

One of the best flying warbirds in this class that i own (and i own quite a lot, some would say too many 😎😎). Flies like it's on rails with perfect speed. I initially bought the "sport power setup" with the 2 blade prop + spinner and the higher KV motor but never installed that because the standard config has more than enough power (and looks better with the scale 3 blade scale prop). It's amazing to see this bird accelerating when you push the throttle to max from a cruising speed 😁😁 I just wish that they would release a D9 because I like that version even more.

Nice job on the weathering and landing gear mod. You have way more energy than I have. I'm too damn lazy, I just fly them like they come out of the box.

Thanks! For me, it really depends on the airplane. Some I want spend the extra time, others not so much. 😊

Very nice model, great silhouette and lovely weathering. I like what you have done to the main gear - they always get FW 190 gear wrong - even Sierra Giant don't do it properly. It would really finish it off if you could tuck that tailwheel up... quite a challenge, but a lot of the late war planes don't quite have realism in flight because of the tail wheels.

Thank you! I hear you on the tail wheel, that would be pretty cool. Really tough to do at this size when it’s already built. At least it’s the right size and shape.

Great work. Nice that you went to all the effort to replicate "Green 9". Did you forget the tail markings?

Nice job chris!! Love it !!

I like what you did w/gear. I looks small to be a 1300mm plane compared to a 1100mm FW190. But I still have not flown mine yet. Just fly my Dynam planes now.👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻

Yeah, it’s not a real big model, but it does look cool. The wingspan is long, so that’s kind of deceiving.

just subscribed. Fantastic review ! Do you think the canopy is, and will stay clear enough for an internal HD FPV camera placement on a pan/tilt/lean gimbal ?

Thanks! Fpv would be pretty rad in this. I feel like the canopy is clear enough, but I don’t really have any experience with that.

I re flew mine 3 days ago, green 4 with lime green spinner white spiral and moved the lipo back a 1/4 in and this stopped the plane wanting to rotate up on its nose issue completely ,completely normal operations. flies like a pattern plane, the parkzone fw190a wheels look nice. i use the parkzone p47 install reversed sided and look very scale . will 3d print a max gruder bf109 pilot from 3d trader to fit after scaling it . working on a second one as green 9 with the red spinner. stab JG 301 Willi Reschke wn 150168

Great looking paint job Chris! I've admired this one for a long time, I have the 800mm mustang and love it, FL makes a good plane. Question- do you think It could do well with a 4S 5,000 mah? Looks like there is a little room to go aft in the fuselage.

Chris, another great video. Quick question: When you bent the axle to make the wheels orient vertically (like the real one)...did you actually bend the axle itself or the lower part of the strut?

@Thercgeek

They struts are wire, so I bent the axle portion to get the correct wheel angle.

@@Thercgeek got it. I tried bending just the axle on one of the retracts and couldn't get it to bend. I may try taking the strut out altogether so I can get better lwverage on it.

Figures... I was just getting good at “weathering” the old fashioned way. (Banging then around in the truck, brushes with tree branches, and landings that resemble cartwheels) But if you think this is a way to weather and in some weird way might lengthen the life of the plane, I’ll try it on the new Me-262. Looks like a lot of work when I can weather and age a plane in under 4 minutes....

If you have some tail wheel experience you should be fine. The hardest part in flying the model is the takeoff, so just requires smooth throttle control and avoiding lifting off the airplane too soon. Otherwise, it’s a pretty cool flyer.

Where did you purchase the control throw gauge? All of your planes always seem to look great, but I have been most envious of that gauge for a while now! I must get one!

Hello, how were you able to not pull off the factory paint when masking with frog tape? I figure it would peel the thin factory paint right off when you pull the frog tape off.

Can you remove the canopy without damaging the fuselage?

Usually, if you can get a fingernail underneath one of the edges and start lifting it, it’ll start to pull away from the fuselage. That’s how I go about it. If you get a tool in there, that’s when you run the risk of damaging the surrounding areas on the fuse.
