Great work, I understand how much effort and money it took to make that happen.

I do hope that the Tu-2 cowl and prop will be replaced soon, though.

[Robbie Stuart]

Great news Dave, give us some more pics when you can.

Did I miss something? Is this a Flug Werk FW, a scaled-down, or what?

I believe this to be a Flug Werk example with a russian engine, cowling, and propeller. For anyone who knows the details feel free to correct.

For the record:
How many Flug Werk 190's have made it across the pond? How many have yet to show up?

Add to this Tom Blair's FW 190D-9/N under completion at Kissimmee and his (ex) A-9/N which due to move soon to Germany.
Bob Russell 190 is definitively a Flug Werk build example.

Yagen's 190 should fly this year too.

There was a list published in Classic Wings in one of their latest issue. I'll check tonight when back @ home.

Front is weird looking... as far as I understood, it's a Bearcat engine and cut down prop, under a Tu-2 cowling. Hence the airs coops under the wings outside the landing gear legs, as the original FlugWerk cooling system did not provide sufficicent cooling and had to be modified (the Jacquard's FW 190 in France went back to the annular radiator in the front part of the cowling).
But I am willing to stand corrected.

Dave,

Congrats on the successful test flights! I'm looking forward to having you on Warbird Radio LIVE tomorrow.

Well, bring it on over to TOM '10, the 109 and 262 will need some help with all those B17's!

[Holedigger]

Cool! Soon to have a rotten, and a bit later a schwarm of 190s! But we can still put up Mustangs with a 20 to 1 advantage, they don't have a chance!

Wow it looks fantastic! The They accomplished the seemingly impossible task of getting a Flug Werk Kit finished, flying, and gear retracted all in one flight! IMO, it looks great with the four bladed prop, very Bearcat-ish. The only question I ahve on this replica is "are the landing gear struts supposed to be pumped up that high or are they doing that for prop clearance?"
