Nothing to do with a knockoff, it's a completely independent design...only thing similar is the powerplant...

It has a slight resemblance to LaGG-3, doesn't it?

It has same scoops, same upsidown motor concept. same armament. So it is to a degree a knockoff, an upgrade perhaps a better word.

So does this, but if you call it a 109 knock-off you might upset the Spit dweebs :D

The Finnish fighter does NOT have the same oil cooler and radiator scoops as the 109. It has the same engine and prop. So in your mind the Spitfire is a knock-off of the Hurricane? Same engine and prop. Same armament.

If you have a look at the photo of finnish plane you can see scoops are same placement & design as 109.

109 rocks.
3rd rate countries can't copy 109 well-see Hispanos, Avias variants of the 109.
so this finnish fighter prolly sucks bellybutton too.

Actually no, it could outclimb & outmaeuver G-6. the ones made in Czeclosovakia & Spain did not have right props or motors, but the Finnish one did.

same engine and prop, but larger wing...
that wing had to be draggier and heavier than that of the 109.
they say it had the same speed as a G6, but I cal BS.


here's some links that actually work :)

spit had an elliptical wing. that's different.

Also, I am a little confused. there's another Finnish fighter called Myrsky, has a radial engine but the landing gear arrangement looks a lot like that of the Pyörremyrsky, I wonder if the wing is the same.

but elliptical. that's the best wing, cause it has minimal induced drag.
