Probably a test flight.

Most aircraft going through initial test flights dont retract the gear.
That way, if something goes wrong with, say, the hydraulic system, they dont have to find out the hard way if their emergency landing gear system works (assuming they even have one).

Are these planes slightly scaled down from original size? 4/5 or something?

Nope,

It's the actual size. That is the primary reason the FW-190 had less form drag than the Spitfire. Ounce for Ounce it did not, but factor in the physical size and it comes out ahead.

Too bad they didn't film the landing, that would have been interesting to see.

Here's a vid of the first test flight. Basically just a take-off and landing.

It's got the same engine

I don't agree about the cowl.

IMO it is just the way it was in original FW190. (then again, maybe it IS too angular...)

BTW those slight smokepuffs in flight and on the ground idling were rather strange. From the colour I'd think that its oil burning. A valve failure perhaps?

Are they using a BMW engine or a russian plant?

GScholz · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2004, 03:07:05 AM »

Russian Asch 82, which is a modernized version of the La-5/7 power plant.
