Latest Build

Built by Ron Johnson this Pica Model FW 190 D9 is 1/6 scale with a wing span of 65 inches. It's powered with an OS 75AX. Covering was done with 0.75 fibreglass cloth and painted using water based varethane Tamiya scale acrylic paints in Dortenman colours 1944-45.
First Flight Performance: Model has scale landing gear, cockpit, sliding canopy, tail wheel, flaps, ailerons, which added to the scale take off. Required slight left aileron trim and flew very well similar to my great planes King Cobra. Even with a high wing loading is very stable at slow speed due to wing design and 2 degrees washout. Remember washout prevents you from being washed out. Only negative is that the plane is hard to see on a dark day due to camouflage colours. Yes, it was in the evening when I flew.

We do our best to be respectful neighbours and safe, quiet planes are an intregral part of that!
