Model Airplane News 2010-02


THERE ARE ONLY A FEW airplanes that truly represent air dominance. The U.S. had the Mustang, the British had the Spitfire, the Japanese had the Zero, and the German Luftwaffe had its Focke-Wulf 190. Also known as the "Butcher Bird," the Fw 190 was powered by a l,700hp BMW 14-cylinder radial engine and loaded with heavy-duty firepower, usually two 13mm and two 20mm or two 20mm and two 30mm cannon. Although it had its limitations above 20,000 feet, the Fw 190 was extremely effective at lower altitudes with its agility and stability as a weapons platform. The new VQ Models FW-190 combines great sport-scale looks with excellent flight performance. Constructed of balsa and lite-ply, the model is covered with a preprinted detailed and weathered finish. It comes with a painted fiberglass cowl, a hand-painted pilot, factory-installed hinges, foam wheels, a fuel tank, a plastic scale spinner, decals and a good assortment of hardware. Although not intended for the beginner, this WW II fighter would make a great addition to the hangar of anyone who has mastered basic RC flying.
