F22, I’m sure you’ve seen the mods in more detail on the AT-6 post. 4s really lights this airframe up but it still flies great slow. You can always adjust the CG to suit your personal tastes. This airplane has become my personal favorite beater airframe. Not that I abuse it but I like to fly it regularly given it’s a taildragger of reasonable size and cheap compared to other models I operate. It’s a perfect airplane to practice slow scale like takeoffs and landings with. I enjoy it quite a bit...

well I think its odd that they reduced the price on the fms fw190a and not the rest of the line. would be funny to have the old fw190 for sale for 320 and the new one for 360. I also know that the wild boar's (mostly fw190) were the night time eyes of Germany? I don't know if there were fivePlatt: fw190d9 Dynaflite:PT-19 IMP:Macchi202 ESM:fw190 ESM:Tank, Hien Jackson:DH-2 BH:macchi200 Extr:fw190 Holman:me109F H9spit2 FL:F4u,spit 9 FW:me262 GP:us60, Stuka, cub, F4u PZ:me109, albi EF Hurri, T-28 FMS: 2x fw190, me109 Lone Star:Skat Kat RSCombat:2xfw190d9

The information below and more is on the New Eflite AT-6 post...
Due to the larger airframe and slightly added weight of the AT-6, I have pulled both stock esc and motor out. I installed a 60amp Turnigy Plush esc with a FlightLine 3648-880kv motor and will run those on a 4s 4500mAh battery. I can now also use a 12” prop to help get around the big cowl. The airframe is plenty big enough to handle it all and any added weight will be welcome on windy days. Don’t know if any of you have weighed the stock spinner on this plane but at 2.5ozs it’s another bandaid to add nose weight flying a small 3s system on what should be a 4s bird.
Ill use the stock motor n esc to power a smaller model.
Amp tests with a 12x8 prop
20amp 1/2 throttle
36amp 3/4 throttle

Yes
Stay focused and on thread.
I think I’ve run aground with all the nebulous clues guesses and now lean toward wishful thinking.
Seeing the images from the wreck of the Lexington make me wish for a big Devastator. Just be nice to see something different rather than Corsairs, Mustangs, and all the other regularly modeled warbirds.

Ugh
Now I’m thread bashing again...:( sorry
Lexington was lost in the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942 and sank with 35 aircraft on board.
Water pressure during her plung swept the aircraft on deck overboard.
They are laying on the sea floor around her wreckage.
Devastators and Wildcats were used at the beginning of the war and that’s what we’re seeing here.
Had they been aircraft that were dumped overboard after the war we’d be looking at 1945 ... Corsairs, Hellcats, and Avengers.

I'm going with a Mosquito. Reasoning is it's not an EDF, many PR versions had 4 vertical and one oblique cameras for a total of 5 "eyes", or you could read Mk.VI's or VI's or VIII's version as 5 iii's. Hows that for logic! personally I'm hoping it's a FB Mk.VI version. We desperately need a new accurate large Mosquito. Put me down for at least two so I can have a bomber as well as Fighter Bomber version.

What about the Hornet, which looks like Mosquito wings with a single person cockpit and shorter fuselage?Originally posted by Beeg View PostI'm going with a Mosquito.

I was thinking along the same lines. Frost's "The road not taken" could with a little bit of imagination portray DeHavilland's choice to "take the road less travelled" when they developed the Mossie (mostly from wood...) without any request or specification from the Air Ministry.Originally posted by Beeg View PostI'm going with a Mosquito.

Also "finicky" and "I took the road less travelled" could indicate a more exotic bird. But it would also need to sell in numbers so I doubt it will be extremely rare.
