Maybe this could be the next "Toss and Boss" candidate....

I want the size of the one you got in the pic or larger ;)

Good job OX, but I think I am going to have to do the white stripe on the spinner... I have tried not to, but it just "needs" it!!! ;) Maybe later on, I will rework that paint a little bit too, but right now I just want to get her flying!!! :Cool::Cool:

The spinner does need a swirl.

I ultimately want to do the JV44 red/white bottom, but like you, I just want to fly her now. :-)

Finally got back home from my week-long business trip. Assembled and bound my Lang Nasen Dora. I’ve decided to run a stabilized 7-channel Lemon RX. Since I had channels to spare, I gave each Aileron servo it’s own channel, so that I can sub-trim them with my DX9, if needed. I doubt that I’ll run the Dora very much with he stabilizer active, but it’s a nice option to have on a plane this small. I dug through my stash of vinyl decals and found a pack of tail swastikas, with a size that fits this model pretty nicely, although admittedly, they may be a touch too large.

Unfortunately, the weather prediction is for total crap weather tomorrow; so, it may be next weekend before I’ll be able to get her in the air. :-/

Speaking of the Dayton USAF Museum and the Lang Nasen Dora..

I'm mostly into the larger warbirds. When I plan a trip to my field, I plan which large planes that I plan to take, then I fill the spaces with 1.1m and below planes. With that said, I really enjoy breaking up the more complex big plane flights with a fun V900 or 64mm MiG or other hand-toss plane. I'm sure that the Dora will be in this category, too, after the newness has worn off. I still want a 1.6m Dora. I spent today at the USAF Museum in Dayton and want a nice-sized Dora more than ever.

I love my bigger war birds and I would never give them up, but these little ones are a blast to fly and are easy on the pocket book. They remind me of the old GWS planes, just with better all around quality and performance. My biggest hurdle has always been having enough free time to get out to the club field on a regular basis, so these smaller planes that I can toss in the trunk and fly on my way to or from work get a lot more flight time than any of my other planes. Keep them coming Alpha, I would love to get a Polikarpov I-16 in this size as well as the more traditional models. And some additional 64mm jets would be nice too.

Thanks for posting your flight reports and videos, guys! As you experienced, the ten minute claim is verified. I usually fly mine for eight minutes or so but it's nice knowing I have a reserve.

Racing them with friends is even more fun and worth the higher consumption and shorter flight time.

I really believe in the appeal of these Toss and Boss planes for the reasons you stated. Long flight time, power options, easy to transport. They're also a refreshing change from the complexities of operating big jets sometimes. I hope more people try these Toss and Boss birds so we can keep making more in the Series.

Bigger flies better is a myth. This FlightLine FW-190D9 is awesome! Great job MotionRC!

Just like the 850mm Mustang, the FW-190 Dora is a blast to fly. Even on 3cells this planes rips up the sky. Its crazy on 4cell. I love to toss these planes in the car and stop by the local soccer fields before work and get a few flights in. Today I flew it on 3cell with the timer set to 5 minutes, when I landed I still had 50% on the battery so I reset the timer and went again and when I landed the second time I still had 14% on the battery.

Received my Dora today, too. I was worried because the packing box and shipping box had a sizable puncture.Luckily, the plane wasn’t damaged. Got lucky!!

I’m heading out town on business tomorrow morning; so, I, unfortunately, won’t get to play with my new toy until next week sometime.

:Cool:Bring on the next one! Nice little bird!

[Hardway]

Well, the little D-9 is together and programmed. All it lacks is the pilot installation. I am using the FMS 013 pilot bust. https://www.motionrc.com/collections...lot-figure-013 Nice little bird. Have to find the scale swastika graphics for the tail of the bird. The factory can't ship it that way since it goes to the EU and Germany in particular... And it is just not PC. But history happened, and that is what livery she wore during WWII. ;)

[AirHead]

Having said everything about the Dora and the Ta 152, the next one will be the FlightLine 1600mm FW190 in this livery! Not spreading any false rumours, but this is the dream....

[Oxotnik]

Got one on order, can’t wait!

When I first got the email to “check out the new flightline fw-190” I was really really hoping for a 1600mm version. Maybe one day we’ll see one, or atleast a 109 😎

Welcome to the crowd. A 1.6m FW-190D-9 would be fantastic.
