The D-13 they restored is absolutely gorgeous.  :aok

That might be one of the prettiest things I have ever seen.

Thank you Cthulu for posting that.

Thanks Messa. We have this skin in the game btw, though it's not technically a D9. I wish we actually had the D13, since 3x20mm's and I believe better performance @ altitude (Jume 213F) sounds awfully nice.

Don't the 190D and 190A have the same wing?

Sorry for the back to back posts, but I just found this:

From: http://www.fockewulf190.net/uk/fockewu/develuk/fwd9uk.htm

"The first version of indicated series Fw190D-9 was armed with 2 MG151/20 in the roots of wings and 2 MG131 with cap. This version was equipped with the wing and the majority of the equipment of the A-8 version."

reynolds numbers being? i know a math term, but specifcally.

Reynolds number (Rn) is a fluid dynamics term.  In order to test airfoil profiles, you have to ensure that they are tested at the proper Rn.  Generally speaking, you can approximate the sea level Reynolds number by multiplying the Velocity (in feet per second) X 9000 X lenth (in feet).  The length would be the chord length.  There are more technically accurate means to determine Rn (which I will use for this test) but this will get you in the ball park.  So, for example, if the FW-190 tip chord is 4 feet, then the Rn at 200mph at sea level will be approximately 293 fps X 9000 X 4 = 10,548,000.  This is often represented in a scientific format as 10.5E6.  Most of the airfoil analysis software requires the Reynolds number to compute lift and drag numbers.

So Rn is a quantifier for what?  Viscosity of air, or something like that?

It is the ratio between inertial force and the viscous force.
