OH.
MY.
GAWD.
This 1200mm FW-190 is far nicer even than it looks- solid high-impact
plastic front end, retracts with sequential wheel cover doors, flaps,
lights, prop-mounted motor cooling fan, side cowl exhaust ports, and
massive amounts of detailing. (That's a 12" prop on there, by the way)
beautiful styling and workmanship, LOADS of power (the most powerful 3
cell plane in it's weight and size class!), and handling that gives you
true fighter performance- a perfect flyer that puts other planes in
it's class to shame! I was, at first, unhappy with the short gear-
until I flew it. As a flying machine, this FW-190 rules! My thought is
that the designer is a truly talented airframe man! If you've ever
flown the other HC warbirds, you'll know what I mean. His choice of
props was always wierd, for some reason (you need to change the props
on all his birds to bring out their truly amazing flight
characteristics) and they did change the prop on this one- the prop on
this plane is one of the most efficient on any warbird of this class-
this plane gives 4 cell speed on a 3 cell setup- it truly ROCKS!
I could go on and on about this truly gorgeous plane that was almost
never built! The designer I mentioned is Mr Liang of HC Hobby, the guy
who designed the HC Hobby Mosquito, B-25 (the first one that everyone
else like FMS copied) and the truly elegant HC A-10 The 20 people who
saw the original sole run of these FW-190s have been chomping at the
bit ever since.
OUR WAIT IS OVER!
The moulds for this gorgeous plane were purchased by Top RC,who began
production in November 2011,with some improvements,beleive it or not!
Better prop, Carbon Fiber Wing Spars, bigger motor, just to name a few.
We now carry this plane! WOO-HOOO!
Get your TopRC FW-190 today! I'll wager that you'll be contacting us
about how nuts you are about this plane! You can select extra stuff
from the menus above, like Crashproofing, extra props, (the plane comes
with one prop), extra prop spinners, batteries, etc. There's a
selection to have us enlarge the battery compartment if you want to fly
it with a 2650 or 3000mah like I do (we move the battery location and
reinforce the compartment with plastic plates) This baby fairly SCREAMS
with a 3000mah 3s 25c battery- that's what I have in her on the video.
Did I say WOO-HOOO yet?
I have one last thing to say- I like to sling planes around like
they're in a dogfight or coming after something on the ground, and I
love doing that at full throttle. Here's my tip of the day- if I were
going to purchcase only one warbird of this size class (around 1200mm),
I can tell you after flying loads of them- I'd get this one. Nuff said.
The REAL last thing: After getting the production run of these planes,
I have a few more comments. This plane is THE best packed plane I have
ever seen. The BOX is made of better foam than some planes, and, unlike
any other plane I've seen, has a complete cardboard box with a complete
foam inner box. All the parts are REALLY secure and protected, to the
point that major damage done to one of the boxes (which scared us
badly) didn't affect a single part of the plane inside. The quality of
everything this company does is simply top notch- I haven't ever seen a
better overall product in the RC plane world. After getting loads of
Dynam planes damaged (inside the undamaged box!) during shipping, this
is a refreshing alternative- a plane, and all it's parts and packaging,
done with forethought and care. Details like the HEAVY DUTY plastic
front end have to be seen to be believed- there is simply no other
foamie I've ever seen built like this one! BIG round of applause to
TopRC!
