Bob Russell’s FlugWerke 190, N190BR, was flown for the first time by Dave Morss on January 10th. This is a somewhat unusual example in that it’s powered by a Shvetsov ASh-82 from a Tu-2, complete with Tu-2 cowl and four-blade prop. There’s also an oil cooler scoop under the left wing.
Bob has his own YouTube channel going, with videos of the build going back the last couple of years. No first flight vid up there at the moment…

Although there are now pics and a video on Dave Morss’ own site…

Some of us have opinions about the four blades, the colour scheme (not completed, I suspect), and the cowl lines, but…..
….it broadly has the lines of a ‘190 and considerable cash and manpower have gone into it’s completion.
That’s one happy team by an imposing aircraft – well done to all (and thanks for posting, AlderTag).
