main spar of the Fw190

You all remember Crumpp's fanatical claim, in the F8F thread, about the main spar of the 190.

Quote
The FW-190's is one solid piece running throughout most of the wing. It is not bolted together or fitted from the fuselage. The wings run under the fuselage and the main spar is one continous piece.
Well I have come across some info that has the main spar being composed of seven, yes  7, seperate pieces.

There was the centre piece, then the piece to join the kinks and then from the outer kink 2 more pieces.

So much for Crumpp's claim of one continous piece. :eek:

I have seen the main spar on an fw190 and it is one piece for roughly 75% of the wing's overall length.  I didn't measure it but it looked to me to be an I-beam of roughly 5"x5"x 1/2" T6000 series aluminum.  the piece extends out to the area roughly corresponding to where the inner aileron hinge is attached to the wing.

Milo has it right I belive.
Wasn't that already on the F8F thread, or could one not see it properly?

Crumpp, are you sticking to this, that the main spar is a unique single piece, not bolted etc? I recall the longest single spar (bolted at wingtips I belive) was the a6m, but, alas, me and my memory ;)

I am pretty sure the 190 is joined, just less than many others.

I know exactly where this is coming from Angus.

Milo has a copy of the Ersatzteilliste and he thinks he knows something he does not.

All the best,

I will let you dig your own hole Milo.

While I am glad to help anyone out, you obviously opened this thread with the intention of attacking my integrety.

Fix your scanner and post your evidence, please!

All the best,

Crumpp

I don't have to attack your integrity, you do a good job of that by yourself.

Crumpp, you are in a restoration crew of a 190, right?
I don't know how far you go stripping the aircraft, but surely you either have some blueprints, or you have seen it with the naked eye, right?
On second thought, seeing it means you have it all in little pieces. There were some maintenance issues mentioned if there was a whole spar.
And there I stop and wonder. Now, a whole spar, as far as goes, from tip to tip, would be stronger than a joined one, but to fix and such, vastly worse. Look at the 109. Easy to fix. Take wings off while the fuselage stands on the wheels. Change engine (both on 109 and 190) in insane speed. So, - a totally whole spar seems a bit "un-german" to me, that's all.
Guess we'll have to wait a bit. Milo will bring some light in.
