I am guessing that is a "A" model? 

I saw a video on You tube that a group build a D-9 or D-11.  i took then a hour to get the engine started.

It has the La-7 engine, not a proper BMW. Other than that it's a faithful replica 190A-8. Beautiful it is.

Yeah, it's a perfect fit for the A8, both in size and power.

Wasn't the Shvetsov in the La7 originally inspired by the BMW 801 in the first place?

I know a few people that have had experience with them, and apparently they are nightmares.

I think HiTech needs to buy one.

If you check their web sight, they are starting to work an kit for the P-51D now.

 I have spoke with the flugwerks people, they told me that they were going to use a Chineese copy of a Russian copy of a German BMW 801 engine. That was around 8 years ago when they said they would have 5 flying by the end of the year. There were also going to be 5-6 Me262's as well.

Isn't the La7's engine only 1800 HP or so?

Did a brief search (learning as I go with the La7, here), and most sources seem to agree that the ASh-82FNU (which we should have modeled in AH, unless I am mistaken) was rated at 1,850HP.  It weighed, apparently, about 1,984lbs, dry.

By comparison, as is my understanding, the A8 was powered by one of two BMW's; the 801-D2 or the 801-Q.  Each was rated (source depending) between 1,677HP and 1,730HP or, in the case of injection, between 1,953HP and 2,000HP, for short durations.  The 801D's, by comparison, approached 2,500lbs in weight.

I could not find wet weights, but, either way, that an approximate weight differential of 500lbs.  You would surely feel that in the game and most assuredly in real life - if in no other capacity than wing loading.

Since Im doing this as I go to see if my initial assumption was accurate... let me do some math, here...

A8 weighs in, loaded, at 9,735lbs with the 801.  Against peak HP of 2,000 (WEP), thats 0.21HP/lb.

La weighs in, loaded, at 7,183lbs with the 62.  Against peak HP of 1,850, thats 0.26HP/lb.

If we remove the the 2,500lb 801, we get a rough, "roller" weight of 7,235lb.

If we then install the 1,984lb 62, we get a revised weight of 9,219lbs.

Powered by the weaker, but lighter 62, you have a 9,219lb aircraft driven by a 1,850HP engine for a P:W ratio of 0.20HP/lb.

So, your unwritten "wink" that I might be incorrect is, in fact, valid.

You win.  :)  See you up tonight.  lol
