MadTrooper Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 This is a great video. I guess the pilot was so excited that he forgot about his gears but I would have probably did the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 This is a great video. I guess the pilot was so excited that he forgot about his gears but I would have probably did the same Most initial test flights of aircraft are done with the gear down, Mad Trooper, just in case of an emergency. They will most often do high speed taxi trials before takeoffs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APHill Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I remember reading about this company at least 6 or 7 years ago and think I remember them at that time talking about doing a 109 G model as well. Does the 190 use a radial BMW engine too? My dream if I was filthy stinking, dirty rotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I remember reading about this company at least 6 or 7 years ago and think I remember them at that time talking about doing a 109 G model as well. Does the 190 use a radial BMW engine too? The short-nose 'A' variants use BMW 801 radials. the long-nose 'D' variants use Junkers Jumo in-line engines Sadly the beauty below basking in unseasonal July sunshine at Duxford back in 2007 arrived in a crate, and has yet to fly - at all. ~S~ Jabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTrooper Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks for the info Rattler. I did not know that. It makes perfect sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 She sounds wonderful. I am beginning to love that FW190. I thinks she's HOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BFs]Smurfy Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I believe the new builds use a licensed version of the engine used in the La5 series of aircraft, Ash82 i believe it`s called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 14, 2009 2. Administrators Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I may have mixed up the tenses here, english not being my first language and all. The original FW190 used the BMW and Junkers engines (I don't think they've built the 801 for a while lol.) The FlugWerk examples appear to be using the Ash-82 according to their website (the Ash-82 is a development of the M-25 (a licence-built Soviet version of the Wright Cyclone)) This engine powered the LA-5 and LA-7 during the war, but there's no indication of production continuing to the present day. Soooo, these are either refurbished engines, or I'm wrong. Hopefully the latter - I'd hate to pick up my shiny new 190 and find the engine had been languishing in a Riussian field for the last 50 years.

Zooly Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 the engines are licence built in China iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
