Flaps
Mid Flap: ~25 degrees – 4% down elevator mix
Full Flap: ~50 degrees – 7% down elevator mix
Flying with flaps
Because an elevator mix is required for level flight with the flaps down, it is advised to not use the flaps for the maiden
flight. Test and tune your “flap -> elevator” mix setting at altitude with about 1/4 throttle. A “flaps up”, landing is easy,
but when the mix is nicely tuned, you won’t believe that warbird can land so easy.
Flaps And Gear Doors Have A “VNE”
VNE is a full scale aviation term that means “Velocity, Not Exceed”. The gear doors and flaps are designed for use at
lower airspeeds. Leaving them deployed and flying at high speeds will increase the risk of losing them.
For the continued enjoyment of your FW-190A, we highly recommend only lowering the landing gear and flaps when
flying at half throttle and below.
Final Steps
After you have completed all of your radio setup, take the model outside and install your propeller. Test run your power
system in a safe manner. Be sure to check the motor manufacturer’s recommendations for help in selecting a prop.
We believe this FW-190 to be the best flying warbird available, with all the details of a model that is three times the weight
that has none of the great flying habits. The best advice is always to burn through lots of battery packs and above all have
fun! We have had a blast during the development and testing stages of this aircraft and sincerely hope the FW-190
provides you with as much joy and excitement as it has for us.
See ya at the flying field!
