One of 21 new-build series reproductions that are not 100% original but very close, some incorporating wartime parts. Only one authentic and original WWII Fw190 has been restored to fly starting in 2011 and a second is still in restoration.
the fw 190 is a airframe that was classic in all factors mr kurt tank did well with his team, of toolmakers sheetmetal guys, and avionics guys and load stress guys, this plane is comparable to the mustang and hellcat, and spit, in its modifyed versions
The engines are Russian-designed, Chinese ASh-82 14-cylinder radials to replace the hard-to-find BMW. They were a good choice being similar in size, weight, and power as the original BMW 801. The first WWII original, BMW-powered Fw190 is now in fight testing and a second one is completing restoration.
That is one aircraft, pure function. It has such great lines. I am a true Brit and love the Spitfire but the Germans built some amazing aircraft, great designs.
i restore classic aircraft for my living, mostly dhc-2- and kurt tank- that guy! wow! what a plane! the later vesions were better in my view- than the best the americans and russians and british had. no offence ----im an american.
It's a paperwork issue with the British CAA. I think it's been sold and will fly in Germany now where rules are less strict. Essentially, it's a replica aircraft not conforming to 100% original blueprints and can't by type-certified as a Fw190. Flugwerk did make a number of changes and their parts are not direct-fit replacements for an original Fw190.
Great camera work and it is so nice to see an FW-190 fly. To make the propeller motion look right the camera frame rate needs to be correctly synced to the shutter speed at a 1 to 2 ratio. If you are shooting at 24 fps shutter speed must be 1/48th, if 25 fps as in Europe must be 1/50, etc., then the propeller will look to the camera as it does to the eye.
Great videos. Have been a member of the Air Museum of Britain for many years now. One of my dearest friends is an Air Traffic Controller at Duxford. Only been to the UK & Duxford once in 1999.
Interesting how the German and British planes' tires sat at angles and not vertically.Must have went through alot of tires on these planes. The FW 190 is one mean,fast and beautiful looking plane! I read that the magnesium parts are the hardest to find and restore for these engines but these days there should be a suitable alternative material to use.I plan to go to Oshkosh in June to see a P-47 and a Fw 190 in person for the first time.I just love radial engine machines.Especially P-47s!!!
I thought I read somewhere that although the engine is Chinese, it is a largely BMW 801 engine that was reverse-engineered by the Russians from captured examples.
So the power and "sound" is correct.
Thanks for the possible news of a restored BMW 801...that would be something !
Gotta make it to Duxford and the Imperial War Museum in GB.
This impresses the hell out me!
History lives.
5 stars but please allow for a little more engine sound please!
Lex5576 I was wondering the same thing regarding the original radials. Parts must be a major concern, but if the right people have access to original plans...parts can be made. This is great. Me262 in flight on youtube, now an FW190. I'd love to see these birds in person!
Yes, that Bucheron is one fugly bird and a disrespect to the Bf 109, not to mention that the Luftwaffe stopped using red in numbers and ID markings not long after the start of the invasion of Russia, with the exception of some RVT (Reich Defence) bands.
Among serious WWII aviation artists, the schemes for those two FlugWerk Fw 190s are called "clown paintings", in that they're not historically accurate. Black 1 wears an Fw 190A-2/3 scheme on an A-8 frame, while the other has many small errors.
The Buchon is both underpowered and butt-ugly. They shouldn't paint it in Luftwaffe colors. The FW190 however is something else! had it been powered by a Daimler-Benz inline frome the beginning it would have performed even better than it did.
yeah ok but can you tell me where to find a daimler benz? and who will take the costs? the 109 need a new form for the new engine and so far...so they let the buchon be....also on the FL they only show originals....the fw 190 this year is the only one thats no original
Worth the time arguing with a doofus on YouTube? Don't think so. Nothing of what you said is new to me, but you couldn't have known that. It's easy to contradict and question, more difficult to contribute to a meaningful conversation. Most people here on YT either can't or don't know how to do the latter.
doofus? dont be childish, it was my argument to show you that wishes the one, but realize the other point is, so that you can think about it...i dont have to tell you the facts why they dont do that cause they are clear, read it again...
if you know that and dont wanna waste your time so let it be instead of writing things they dont matter ;-)
I still think the Buchon should be painted in it's original colors and not pretend to be Luftwaffe, because it's not and never was. It's not even representative of what the Luftwaffe had.
and i cant understand why people name it as a 109....
the buchon isnt the worst plane, but of course its not a beauty...but the luftwaffe, like all other airforces too, had also worse and uglier planes :-)

In late 1941, better than the Spitfire Mk V in all aspects except turning radius below 25,000ft .
Two years later Schmued's P-51B appeared in GB on December 1943.
