Introduction

BEST OF THE BUTCHER BIRDS

World War II Germany's Focke-Wulf Fw 190A featured a relatively simple design that placed a large radial engine into the narrow fuselage of a small, single-seat fighter. After the "Butcher Bird" took its first flight on June 1, 1939, its effectiveness in air superiority, interception, ground attack and bombing roles led many Luftwaffe pilot to happily trade their Messerschmitt Bf 109s for the new warbird. This first-ever E-flite^® Focke-Wulf model is based on a full-scale replica once owned by the late Rudy Frasca. Painted with the wartime markings of Austrian Luftwaffe pilot Oskar Bosch, the replica has been flown in west coast airshows and at the National Air Races in Reno. The E-flite Fw 190A 1.5m stands apart from all other RC model versions by delivering superior Extra Scale details, functional features and performance in a larger size, while being easy to assemble, transport and store. It's also equipped with a Spektrum^™ Avian^™ Smart ESC to deliver a warbird experience unlike any other!

Overview

ANOTHER FIRST FROM E-FLITE^®!

This first-ever E-flite^® Focke-Wulf is also the most detailed, best handling and highest performance RC model of the Axis warbird yet! The Fw 190A 1.5m is larger than most other models of the famous fighter, yet it's easy to assemble — and to transport and store thanks to its unique 3-piece wing design because the center section includes the main gear and the outer panels simply snap into place securely without requiring fasteners. The factory-installed brushless power system with its large-diameter, 3-bladed propeller uses common 6S 3200-7000mAh batteries to deliver better-than-scale, 80+ MPH level flight speeds and nearly unlimited vertical performance. It also has more authentic details than most similar class and smaller models. The durable, composite-reinforced airframe includes molded-in panel lines and guns, a removable drop tank and even more Extra Scale details. Functional Extra Scale features — such as LED navigation lights, split flaps and control surfaces with pocket hinges — take the experience to another level. Besides adding realism, the wide-spaced main gear with factory-installed electric retracts, durable metal components and scale-like length, shock-absorbing struts make it possible to fly from a wide variety of surfaces, including paved runways and grass. Best of all a wide range of pilots, even those with limited warbird experienced, can enjoy flying this model — especially the BNF^® Basic version that includes exclusive AS3X^® and SAFE^® Select technologies. The BNF Basic comes with an AR637TA receiver that takes full advantage of the Spektrum^™ Avian^™ ESC's Smart technology to deliver full-range, real-time battery voltage, current draw, motor RPM and other telemetry data to compatible transmitters. And it all adds up to deliver a warbird flying experience unlike any other with the finest Focke-Wulf yet!

Exclusive Technologies

This is the first large-scale Fw 190A model equipped with both exclusive Spektrum^™ AS3X^® and SAFE^® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch making this one of the easiest to fly Fw 190s yet! And if you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally and only AS3X will be active.

Extra Scale Details

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190A 1.5m features an accurate outline and an abundance of Extra Scale details including molded-in panel lines and hatches, guns and a removable drop tank — plus many more details than you typically find on similar class and smaller models.

Functional Extra Scale Features

Factory-installed LED navigation lights, retractable main gear, split flaps and control surfaces with pocket hinges are functional Extra Scale features that take your experience to another level.

High-Performance Power

The factory-installed power system features a 100-amp ESC plus a high-power brushless outrunner motor that works with the large-diameter three-blade propeller and a 6S 3200–7000mAh LiPo battery to deliver better-than-scale speed and nearly unlimited vertical performance.

Smart Technology

The Fw 190A 1.5m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum^™ Avian^™ Smart ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF^® Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare^™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, the NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX20 and others) while you fly.

Capable Gear

The wide-spaced main gear feature factory-installed electric retracts equipped with durable metal components and shock-absorbing struts that make it possible to fly from a wider variety of surfaces including paved runways and grass. And unlike most other Fw 190 models, the scale-like length struts offer a more authentic scale look and experience.

Durable Precision

Construction with fully-molded EPO material makes it possible to replicate complex detail and shapes in a lightweight yet durable form. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and delivers the best possible flight experience, plus the factory-installed servos with ball-link equipped linkages deliver crisp and precise control at every speed.

Easy Assembly

No glue is required for assembly and you can have the Focke-Wulf Fw 190A 1.5m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! The 3-piece wing design makes transport and storage as practical and convenient as possible because the center section includes the main gear and the outer panels snap into place securely without fasteners.

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage

Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX^® receiver featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling

The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment—No Complex Programming Required

The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds.

If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.

Design and Construction Issues... Beware

I am a huge Luftwaffe warbird fan. I preordered this FW-190 on the day that it was announced. Upon receiving the plane, I immediately repainted it (I detested the poor attempt to model an airshow replica). After completing the repaint, I assembled the FW-190, and in the process, discovering two significant problems: (1) The pushrods to the elevator, rudder, and tailwheel are long and and very small gage. The elevator pushrod was unconstrained inside the fuselage and was bowing significantly when put into compressions (Up Elevator). I wedged a long piece of depron foam into the fuselage, to add support to the pushrod sleeve, and, thus, to the elevator pushrod itself. This helped a lot, but the pushrod still wants to bow outside of the airframe (from where it leaves the fuselage to where it attaches to the elevator control horn). In my opinion, this is a very poor design for a long pushrod, and I will replace that pushrod with a larger gage pushrod, to stop the bowing. I feel that this stock pushrod is a crash waiting to happen. (2) The hard-mounted multi-connectors between the fuselage and the wing, and between the inner wing and outer wing are terrible. Multiple times, when attaching the wing, connector pins have been pushed out of the Male servo connector. I have since unscrewed one side of the interface connector, leaving that side of the servo connector to float. I also had to reterminate several male connectors because the stock male connector was damaged to badly to be reused. I feel confident that the non-hard-mounted servo connector is safe to fly now. I'd NEVER fly my FW-190 with both sides hard-mounted.

On the positive side, the gear stance and other scale feature are wonderful, and are the reason that I was willing to pay the relatively high price for this foam warbird. With the repaint and the design/construction fixes that I've implemented, I am happy to have this model. I am disappointed, though, in the poor quality of the servo connectors and the wimpy pushrods for the elevator, rudder, and tailwheel. I feel that these design/construction issues, if not discovered and corrected, would most likely result in a crash within the first few flight. For scale features, I'd score this FW-190 as a 5 (although I was tempted to knock it down for the ugly paint scheme (a subpar attempt to model the livery of an airshow replica)) . For the design and construction issues that I've discovered in my FW-190, I'm knocking the overall score down to a 3.

I have not yet flown my FW-190, but I expect it to fly fine, and should be plenty fast (significantly above scale speed).

Oh, one other thing. When I first encountered the problem with the wing servos, I contacted HH CS via chat (because I couldn't find the phone number on the HH website anywhere). The CS rep told me that a product specialist would get back to me quickly by email. Three days later.... crickets...

Q: Please explain how to REMOVE the outer wing panels.

Store Owner

03/22/21

A: The outer wing panels remove by pulling outwards. You may find it helpful to wiggle the panel very slightly (back and forth, horizontally) as you apply outwards pressure.

Q: Would two 3s 2200 Mah 30c batteries work with a adapter and when put together a combined charge of 6s 4400 mah work ?

Store Owner

01/14/21

A: Two 3S 2200mAh batteries in series results in 6S 2200mAh: insufficient capacity.

Two 3S 2200mAh batteries in parallel results in 3S 4400mAh: insufficient voltage.

You would need four 3S 2200mAh batteries to result in a total of 6S 4400mAh.

Q: Can I hook this up with two 2200mah 30c smart batteries with the double ic3 to ic3 connector ?

Store Owner

01/14/21

A: Yes you could use two 3S packs in series, though 2200mAh is going to provide very short flight time, and also not balance correctly. Two 4000mAh packs would be more suitable.
