Folding prop from HK ( 5.1x3.1 )
Current draw is right on about 8 amp @ full throttle
The ESC seems to handle full throttle with little issue , and I dont remember what ESC is in there .
You would need to go over my old posts to see the figures for the previous folding prop .
Prop runs quiet and true
Now for this Stage 4 restrictions to go away !
( Speaking off - Retards are still out there without masks or face coverings ) Bring in Bounty Hunting ! I want a slice of that $1600 fine . ( Actually $200 for not wearing a mask / face covering )

So I'll ask you....was this plane, among many other bad business decisions, one of the reasons that led to Tower Hobbies' ultimate demise and buyout by Horizon Hobbies

Cox FW 190 Kit
I am mostly retired now, the only job I do is substitute teaching during the school year, and because of the pandemic, the schools closed mid March this year. So I have spent a lot of time at home since then, only going out when I really needed to. In June, I started a Value Hobby Zeta Dolphin 1010mm EDF kit that I finished the second week of July. Didn’t get a chance to try it because of poor conditions until the first week of August. Still haven’t had a good flight with it.
A friend sent me GWS T6 and COX FW 190 kits at the end of the second week of July. He didn’t want them anymore because he had moved on to bigger planes. These kits are not sold anymore except by individuals that never built them. I think it has been more than 10 years since they were new.
So on the 3rd week of July I started building a 1000mm GWS T6 Texan that I basically finished on August 10.
Now I will start on the COX FW190 520mm kit. This kit comes pre-painted, with a brushed motor, but no electronics. It comes with an elevator and rudder, but no ailerons. I plan on building it with brushless electronics, but currently do not intend to add ailerons. I think the original with the brushed motor must have had a battery mounted inside without access from outside except for a plug for charging it and an on/off switch. So I will be adding a battery hatch. Here are photos of the box and contents:

This is another Great Micro Warbird from Eachine and well worth the money in my opinion.
It is a bit Nose Heavy out of the box but .75g of Tail Weight and it balances perfectly.
I think this Plane is a bit faster than the P51D and not quite as stable due to the Gull Wings.
It has a very Wide Flight Envelope but flying too slow will cause a Wing to Dip.
I like the weight of the 1S 360mah LIPO rather than the 1S 400mah LIPO in this Plane.
I need a bit more Elevator and Rudder Movement so I'll adjust the Linkage and Test it out again.
Part 4 of this Review will be Testing the Adjustments and then I'll state my Conclusion on this Warbird ;-)

Here's what the original looks like,

Mine will get repainted in a russian camo scheme, that Slovak Tiger digital camo on a MiG-29 looks a bit odd to me (plus I have enough boring gray planes).
