    I get the same flutter from the gear doors on my FW190. Planning to stiffen them at some point. Great flight with the Tempest - looks superb in the air and very smooth takeoff and landing. 👍

      It could be the fitting that the doors came with that is allowing them to flex. I'm going to 3D print some 'better' U type clamp fittings to see if that improves it.

    Hello Ron! Great, the retractable gear works perfectly. But where is the tail wheel? Greetings Thomas

      It does have a tailwheel, non steerable but that doesn’t really matter as the rudder is so big it turns quite easily

      Hello Ron! Sorry, I didn't see that. Okay; and now the Focke Wulf 190 is getting a retractable undercarriage, right? Greetings Thomas

    Beautiful warbird👍…how much full throttle you’re using?

      I didn't use full throttle in this flight, I think when I said 'fast' in the video I was at about 80 - 90%, the rest of the time it was about ½ throttle.

    This kit does not seem to be on the website, am I looking in the wrong place ?

      There was a short run of kits made - the Tempest and also FW190. I think there will be a second batch of each that will go on the website. All the initial batch sold via word of mouth and social media. I’ve got the FW190 - it’s brilliant.
