Focke Wulf 190 A-8, well mostly.. I'm still rather new to this game and this project has taken well over a week to complete. It's not perfect, but I'm going to upload it anyway. All this work has me anxious for an upload. I do plan to continue working on this project, adding details and such. It's just been a whole lot of headache and hurdles to keep going without showing you guys and gals some results. It's pretty close to the specifications of the historic version, give or take a few feet depending on your sources. Speed is also relatively close. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this build.
Takeoff can be full throttle, Adjust trim to lift.
Landing procedures:
Throttle to 30%
Max trim to give you as much lift as possible
Slowly cut throttle, Stalls around 90 mph.
Once you touch down you might bounce a little. With a little practice, this plane can be landed very easily. I can land it almost flawlessly now.
Enjoy. Feel free to add comments or suggestions, Thanks!

No hurry. Congrats on your feature! @Akrimonious
@goboygo1 Thanks! I haven't been on all day, The feature and the up-votes made the headache of this project worth it. I really do appreciate the welcoming I have been given, and I hope I can crank out some really awesome projects. Thank you everyone.
@InternationalAircraftCompany I'll begin on something new shortly, I've been really busy with work. Hopefully, I can begin on something soon!
congrats on the feature!
i see a lot of potential here, keep up the good work!
I'm sure you won't disappoint me! @Akrimonious
@JayJoeCc better is a matter of perspective, I've just been doing a lot of research on this community for ideas and building tips. If you're having a problem with something, just ask man!
@InternationalAircraftCompany Thanks for the follow! I'll try to not disappoint you.
@TitanWalrus Thanks, I appreciate it! Hoping to really make some cool builds in the future!
Much better than mine :-D
I'm one of your followers now! I also gave you a spotlight.
(puts on monocle and top hat) Exquisite.
You have great potential :) great plane!
np man, night!
@BogdanX couldn't have said it better
@ChaMikey @BogdanX Thanks again guys, I'm heading to bed. I'm a tile installer, gotta be up early. I'll be on tomorrow. Have a good one.
oh believe me, I know lol. Really makes me worried I wouldn't make another one as good as the one I did, but as time goes you realize you can! good luck my good man :)
@BogdanX Ohh, I think I understand what you're saying, thanks for the tip! I think next build, I'll let you beta test it. Sound good?
Thanks to those who have up-voted so far, makes the struggle's worth it!
@ChaMikey I appreciate that! Uploading a project is a relief and stressful, makes you wonder what you'll do to surpass your last build.
@BogdanX Thanks for your help and input, are you suggesting add some weight to the rear of the fuselage? I contemplated that earlier, but I was getting very anxious to get it uploaded. I'll keep experimenting with it!
bloody well done, looks absolutely stunning for a first FW.
@Bogdanx offered multiple times to help me, but I was stubborn, special thanks to him answering some of my questions. Also I stated in the description, but he was partially responsible for the background.
