FW 190
SHORT KIT #SK702

The FW 190, the "Butcher Bird", was Germany's first line offensive and defensive fighter. It scored 2 to 1 victories over the RAF in the early days of WWII .

 

 THE KIT

The FW 190 is a rugged fast build. It makes an excellent "first" scale RC airplane and yet without retracts and flaps, it is an exceptional all around starter aircraft.

"Good ground handling for a tail dragger. It is a real competitive performer."
