Focke Wulf FW-190 A-8 Scale ARF Electric

Great plane, flys wonderful. You cant go wrong when buying a Alfa. I have owned several of these planes and they track straight and fly perfect. This 190 is very scale and leaves room to detail the airframe if you so desire.

Great flying plane! My first foamie, but very impressed. Used an axi 2208-26 with a jeti 12 controller and a 2 cell "twenty" lipo. Micro os5 receiver with hs81 futaba servos and a 9x7 4-blade prop with replaceable blades which prove great after a branch strike. It came in a whole ounce underweight (according to the instructions) it's at 13 oz. flights with this configuration great at half throttle and pulls 11-12 amps which is the rated for the controller. Full military throttle pulls 18-20 amps (a bit high for the controller but shorts bursts don't seem to hurt) and will literally pull the plane straight up out of your hand. I used the medusa power analyzer II on the ground to arrive at the current draw and may be a bit different on board during flight.
The great thing about foamies is they don't sink when the crazy pilot clips a branch and the plane falls into the lake. In my horror, I ran to the thing and it was floating as if were sitting in dry ground. I fished the broken cowl out of the water, dried it carefully and during the week in which i was afraid to start it up again i made a trip to the store in Brentwood, Tennessee, and got another cowl. luckily all systems still work.
To remedy the inevitable creases and dings, use a piece of scotch tape for big ones and some similar color model paint. for small ones, use some testors' silver in the nick to give it a cool, weathered, used look as if were in battle.
It carries the flycamone on occasion but can't stomach to fit the flycamone2 as it is a low winger and the v2 seems a bit fragile for an underwing mount.
My next will be the BF-109 or the Nakajima Hayate, 'cause enemy planes are cool!

The Alpha FW-190 is a great looking and great flying plane. I am on my second one (the first was lost due when the battery came loose, won’t do that again!). I originally bought the plane for the looks and was not expecting anything special as far as flight characteristics. I was pleasantly surprised by the docile and smooth handling. The FW-190 was solid at high and low speeds. The only thing that I would have liked for it to have is a rudder. I am adding a rudder to the one I am currently building to replace the original. Power was excellent with the recommended motor and battery. This is a great small scale model and a must have for the FW-190 fans out there.

I run this plane with a 400xt outrunner motor and esky digital servos (my favorites) . It has a Jeti ESC and a TW radio. I added a functional rudder but don't really use it in flight. It is a very nice flying airplane, but it does fly very fast and reacts NOW to stick inputs. Not for the beginner. I set it up with the ailerons up 1 mm as per instructions. The quality is top notch. It could be a little bit more robust though. The elevator was broken right out of the box, a simple epoxy fix, but still. Only one complaint---like usual, it went on sale a week after i paid the full price for it. Overall I'm very pleased with the FW190 A-8 airplane--I guess I should be, My grandfather flew one in the Luftwaffe during WW2 and he survived to tell the tale.

Great flying model and very true to scale. Easy to fly, responsive and looks great in the air. Very easy to assemble and set up. I modified the kit with a functional rudder and added a bomb drop and I recommend a 100w brushless set up. Also recommend a magnet set up for the battery hatch. 10 min flights at scale-like speeds on an FMA 3s 950 Lipo or Thunder Power 3s 1300. I liked this model so much I bought another.....
