I'm thinking of getting one of these. I'm fairly new to the hobby, just have some BNFs from HH so far. If i get this, all I need is a 4s battery and my FrSky X8R? I've heard talk about needing a BEC and that's got me wary.---

Got the email from motion this morning and would love to get a German plane. Currently fly P51 1m, 1.2m P-47 and T-28 1.2m. Have a Timber and cub as well so I’m use to tail staggers. My overall fear is getting a plane that is above my skill set. Land all my
planes fine. See it can take a big 3s. May use that to limit my speed and not have the devil in my ear saying “punch the throttle” if had a 4s ????Planes
-E-Flite: 1.2m P-47, Maule, Turbo Timber, 1.5m AT-6, 1.2m T-28, Dallas Doll, Viper, F-15, F-16, Wildcat, Carbon Cub -UMX: Mig-15, Pitts, Timber
-FMS: Bae Hawk Motion: 1.6m Corsair, 850mm Mustang, 1.6m Spitfire Freewing: 1.7m A-10, F-22,

Has anyone been able to successfully peel off the white decal that is placed around the prop spinner? I am on my second one because I destroyed the first one trying to somehow figure out how it peels off. I would like to get it on there as I like to have my warbirds to scale as much as possible.
Can't wait to get her in the air! Still waiting for a decent day where it is not too windy to take her up.Happy flying!

I finally got around to assembling this beautiful plane the decals took longer to apply than building and setting up the transmitter. I’m hoping to get the maiden in this weekend. I’m planning on using an Admiral 3000 4s with this battery it’s neutral cg at the recommended 85mm there is not much choice on battery placement. The compartment in the fuse is really tight on space for the battery and receiver not any choice where to put things.6 Photos

I couldn’t wait for fair sky’s so I went ahead and took it up for the maiden. It only needed a few clicks of trim and it was locked in. The balance was good with the Admiral 3000 4s against the firewall and at half throttle it is pretty quick at full throttle this pane isn’t for the faint of heart. Oh yea that German camo really works in dark low clouds I really had to pay attention to keep orientation. This plane is definitely a Winner!

The Flightline Focke Wulf FW-190 1100mm is a sweet little ride! I set mine up box stock and am using 4S 2700mah packs. She is very nimble, very crisp, with a snappy roll rate. No elevator to flap mix is needed. You can drive it down with flaps and flare. I am flying off a rather unprepared surface and find it does well on short takeoffs and landings. With a few shake-down flights out of the way it's time to decal her up!

Hey I just bought a used 190. It looks to be ok except for the wing has been cut out and glued back for a possible retract failure. I noticed the motor mount was a piece of light ply and not the plastic piece I have ordered. Is this a newer version plane or what? Also the plastic cooling fan behind the prop is too big to fit. What gives? I now this is an older forum but any info is appreciated . Thanks.

OK, thanks. That is what I thought. Sometimes I buy an older plane at a swap meet or somewhere and then have to scramble to get info and parts. I would not be surprised at the addition and the original has been scrapped. I will epoxy in the new plastic mount and go from there. I have not been on this forum for several years and just now rediscovered it.
