Focke Wulf 190 A8

1,292 Akrimonious  7.8 years ago

Focke Wulf 190 A-8, well mostly.. I'm still rather new to this game and this project has taken well over a week to complete. It's not perfect, but I'm going to upload it anyway. All this work has me anxious for an upload. I do plan to continue working on this project, adding details and such. It's just been a whole lot of headache and hurdles to keep going without showing you guys and gals some results. It's pretty close to the specifications of the historic version, give or take a few feet depending on your sources. Speed is also relatively close. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this build.

Takeoff can be full throttle, Adjust trim to lift.
Landing procedures:
Throttle to 30%
Max trim to give you as much lift as possible
Slowly cut throttle, Stalls around 90 mph.
Once you touch down you might bounce a little. With a little practice, this plane can be landed very easily. I can land it almost flawlessly now.
Enjoy. Feel free to add comments or suggestions, Thanks!

    @ChaMikey I appreciate that! Uploading a project is a relief and stressful, makes you wonder what you'll do to surpass your last build.

    @BogdanX Thanks for your help and input, are you suggesting add some weight to the rear of the fuselage? I contemplated that earlier, but I was getting very anxious to get it uploaded. I'll keep experimenting with it!

    @Bogdanx offered multiple times to help me, but I was stubborn, special thanks to him answering some of my questions. Also I stated in the description, but he was partially responsible for the background.
