Reminded me of my Marlin/Glenfield model 75 that I restored after being cut-down into a youths rifle.

Hollow it out a bit and poly it up. Would make a hit at the field. Smile

That FW 190 looks like a lot of fun just waiting to happen . Very nice job on the build and it looks like it should be a good flyer also .

Hey man that's Nice ! I like the way you did the camo on the wings and all . 8 oz. aint bad for a slow flier and should bee a lot of fun , what's the W?S

Just don't pack it in your luggage for your next vacation in Europe. That vertical stab has really got me triggered.

Yea I agree with Victor. I have a suggestion Joe. Once you re-balance the airplane.. try running a L/H prop (same dia./pitch if possible) on that reed-valve engine. You may need to reduce/eliminate any/all outboard wingtip-weight.. but the model should head-outward.. if the lines go slack.

A few drops of CA and it'll be ready for Dawn Patrol. Heck, there's hardly any bullet holes!
