Naw ... don't think so. Radials always burn a little oil.

Naaa.  The La7 front cowling is more rounded.  And looking at fictures of Ash 82 I see no reason why it would require a different, more angular, front cowl profile on FW190.  

I just dont know why its off.

IIRC the engine is actually a Chinese version of the M-82/ASch-82. Older Russian helicopter types use this engine (namely Mi-4 and derivates).

Whoa baby, what a plane.
Oh, noticed 2 things.
1. Shouldn't the pilot be more like tilted backwards?
2. Why was he wearing the mask? Was the 190 cockpit dirty?

Probably for the exhaust fumes, a very common reason for the accidents.

No, he was tilted backwards. It's just the head shield behind him that gives you the wrong impression. The seatback is tilted backwards, but the head is tilted forwards to improve view (like a TV chair). He also had a chute-pack on his back; in WWII they sat on them.

Ahh, had to be.
I have somewhere on my HD some good interior pics from a 190.
Compared to the cabins of other WW2 aircraft it looks like something from the jet age, - very modern.
The tilting looked almost uncomfortably much back.

Not true. Pips Priller exiting the cockpit of his 190.

Suntracker:
I can remember 2 replica 51's in a glitch.
1st one is a wooden one, roughly half-scale with a rotax engine, - search Loehle aircraft on the net.
The second is the Stewart P51, much more serious design with hundreds of horses under the hood, also a quite good performance.

Have a look here as well, - a little spitty, about as expensive as a good jeep:

That 190 is rather more expensive, but its also the real thing..

Wow! I always thought the Fw-190 was a big, P-47ish buff! (not ugly though)
but after seeing this video I disagree with me :) it seems very nimble!

It's basically the smallest aircraft with that much power in front of it.
Very clever design.

i used to think the same, but it's even smaller than a p-51 and not that much bigger than a 109.

The La-5/7 was slightly smaller, 9.8m to 10.5 m wing span.

IMHO the FW 190 was about a mid size WWII fighter if we look wing area, there were several signifigantly smaller like the Yak-3 and other Yaks, Bf 109, J22, D.520, He 100, VG.33, La serie, etc... and even more if we look the weight.
