Greetings from New Zealand,

This is my first thread so I thought I would hit it off with a bang.
I must say I really do enjoy this forum !!

Thanks for inviting me, Col Rohr !!

Anyway, on another forum I found this link of the first test flight of the new Fw190
Great movies !!

Hope you enjoy !!

TNZ

Cheers Stieglitz,

Boy, did they have trouble starting up the Fw190 on the initial run-up!!
Sounded like it was running on only a couple of cylinders at most !!! :shock:

Thankfully all were firing for the flight-test :lol:

Guys

I have heard that they hope to have the electrical parts needed to allow the u/c stay locked down if they need to lower it manually ready ( some sort of clutch) by December...nice to see it 'fly clean' :wink:

You would almost forget that they use a modern (new built) piston engine here!

I'm glad you found your way to this board TNZ!

Cheers,

Boy was that a looooong download on a dial-up connection! It was worth it though. It looked like they had a video camera mounted in the cockpit. Should be some interesting footage.

Sorry, I should have stated that some were not dial-up friendly.
With broadband you take downloading for granted.. :wink:
