20240505 Blackhorse FW 190 Maiden & Crash

Sorry about the crash…don’t be afraid of full flaps for warbird landings

I would use flaps if it's not windy, turn final at a lower altitude, not dive at the runway, idle the motor down more, and use a prop with less pitch, perhaps a 27x11. I think the 26x13 might be pushing too much air at idle, especially at a fast idle. Flaps will help slow the plane down and also lower the wing's angle of attack which will help prevent tip stalls. With full flaps, the plane might slow down too quickly if you pull the power off completely, so use a little throttle on final and during the round out. Practice slow flight. Climb to a safe altitude, throttle back, lower the flaps, and practice flying around just above the stall speed. See how slow you can fly without stalling.

Good thing is that its totally repairable. Hope to see that Jug back in the air soon!

Landing looked perfect but engine idle speed maybe too high to stop? Maybe cut the engine on rollout if necessary?

Im sure your "local NTSB" report of yourself and friends already went over what-ifs, but seemed like a high-idle, fast approach, and negative grade runway landing all aided in the outcome. Can only hopefully guess it was into prevailing winds too. Real sorry to watch, hope all the salvageable parts (non-airframe) go into a new build!

Sorry for your mishap. The plane was flying very nicely. I noticed that you were landing your Focke-Wulf on its mains. Focke-Wulfs don't like that. They prefer three-point landings. The P-51s, on the other hand, love to land on their mains. I hope that you can fix it and fly it again soon!... Give that three-point landing a try... That's how I land mine every time... Mine is the Eflite Focke-Wulf 1.5M made out of foam. I don't like balsa for obvious reasons... If you sneeze hard close to the plane, they will break... Foamy planes are sturdier...😁👍🏾 Thumbs-up for your video 👍🏾 Have a great rest of your night 🌙 Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵 👍🏾 😁 🇵🇷 Like#22

So sorry beautiful plane and such a beautiful Landing also broke my heart

13:22 ..👍🍺🍺🍺...that's exactly like when Ted Striker's squadron attacked at Macho Grande...😅

Why you didn't use Flaps for landing , also guessing your Throttle idle is to high

sorry to see this Dan, it was a great landing, just stopping a heavy model without brakes downhill , rebuild & refly xxxxx

9:21 ...🍺🍺🍺

0:12 ..👍🍺🍺🍺🍺

Fly downwind lower and maybe reduce idle RPM, good luck with the repair

You can always go around! Just like us full scale guys, if you’re not on the ground in the first 1/3rd of the runway, go around! Approach speed was quite excessive. If it’s not right, it won’t fix itself.

Beautiful plane. Too bad on the landing crash. Is the idle too high?

That makes my stomach sick when that happens

I love the FW190, but it is a tricky bird to land. I flare right before I finally stabilize the approach to land to bleed off as much speed as possible and I still don’t have it fully figured out.

Way too high a throttle at idle ! You'll get her fixed sorry about your mishap

Needs scale prop!!!

Maybe it's just the camera but, you seem to fly so far away. This airframe will actually fly very slow final approaches. Warbirds are so slippery. I throttle back on the downwind leg. Keep you're turns mostly flat.
