Here is another glide test. This one of my Guillow's 400 series, FW-190. Since this video was taken, this plane has flown again. I have re-built the tail, replaced the wing with a lighter one with more dihedral, and lightened the fuselage and moved the rear peg fwd 2 inches.
This plane has its share of "Battle Scars"
A totally new build FW 190 is in the works...
