Focke-Wolfe Fw-190A.
The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger ("shrike"), often called Butcher-bird, was a single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft of Germany's Luftwaffe, and one of the best fighters of its generation. Used extensively during the Second World War, over 20,000 were manufactured, including around 6,000 fighter-bomber models. Production ran from 1941 to the end of hostilities, during which time the aircraft was continually updated. Its final incarnations retained qualitative parity with Allied fighter planes, although Fw 190s lagged far behind in production numbers.
The Fw 190 was well liked by its pilots, and widely regarded as superior to the front line Supermarine Spitfire Mk V on its combat debut in 1941. Compared to the Bf 109, the Fw 190 was a "workhorse," employed in and proved suitable for a wide variety of roles

Thanks to “pplace” for the model.
Controls include: throttle, rudder, ailerons, rudder, elevator, landing flaps, retractable landing gear, opening canopy.
Fly with the channel 5 rate switch in the “High” position.
Flaps are on channel 6.
Retracts are on channel 7.
Channel 8 three position switch: Fly with this switch in the middle position. The position closest to you opens the canopy. The position farthest from you fires the guns.
When in cockpit view mode various items will move in response to control surface movement.
This is a well done nice looking model. Excellent flight characteristics – flies like a fighter i.e. fast and responsive to input. Good landings with or without use of the landing flaps. Requires a higher level of skill to properly fly it.
