Good luck Mr Gorski?

Neil says something cryptic.

As I said before: Such courage, enthusiasm and perseverance; akin to missionaries. I’ve read and heard the idiom ‘doing the Lord’s work’ many times, used to describe an uphill, if not altogether impossible, task.

Well isn’t that what everyone is trying to do ? What did Leonardo da Vinci, Otto Lilienthal, The Wright brothers, Mozart….even JFK wanted to do ? Doing things not because they are easy but because they are hard. What did Neil Armstrong say to new astronauts ?

The cleverest part of the FW 190 was the Kommandogerat which automatically adjusted propeller pitch, rpm and mixture control according to the throttle position selected by the pilot. Virtually an early computer.

That is clever…like the computer on Apollo…small but practical.

I always liked the D-9.

And here’s a 1/48th A-5 model that I built recently….

This 1/12 scale model ( Ta-152 H-1 ) flies 100 mph; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztb9RD7eJOQ

Discussing at length (with nobody) that an axis aircraft was actually alright? Asking the sort of questions about aircraft construction that often get exasperated and snarky responses… then answering your own questions… On a forum that barely has a good word to say about US aircraft, let alone any other non-British type?

Such courage, enthusiasm and perseverance; akin to missionaries. Almost.

Hello Meddle !

I am a monk if you’d see how I live yes.

Just wanna share some light to these “evil” nazi designs as they posses some pretty clever engineering as well.

I like to read correct information also in the future.

BTW: the FW-190 D had very hard absorbers and if you landed it too roughly it could turn upside down…also recovery from a stall in Langnase was pretty complicated procedure…even lethal.

PS: There is also a chance that I wouldn’t be here typing if these oberst Kurt Kuhlmey FW-190As hadn’t been around to help us in 1944.
