I friggin love the 190a8

They can not pull out of a dive well.

   You can pull out of a 650 mph dive effortlessly if you know what you're doing.

I thought the rockets where for taking out the bombers.

WGr-21 rockets on the A-5 and A-8 are the anti aircraft rockets, the PB1 rockets for the F8 are AT, and I belive have the same warhead os a panzerschrek AT launcher

mash the K button till you either hit the ground or level out and then black out and start looping all over the place?

never taken an Anton over 550, but I know Langnassen Dora's wings will snap like twigs if you pull up even the slightest bit to fast at +550 mph

[Babalonian]

it may have something to do with sitting in a fw190 replica that is being rebuilt after the guy they built it for tried to tail stand it while reving up the engine and folded up the landing gear and destroyed the prop, engine and bent the wing spars...

Anyone got a link to this story?...

In a terminal velocity dive it really won't get much faster than this... You can dive nose down from 30K and not rip things off....

It's the pull-out that's a problem! And then, really, only if you have a full AFT tank. That pushes the center of gravity backwards, and the pivot point of your plane as you pull out then "pushes" the wings into the air stream rather than twists them into the air stream. You can dive from 10K with a full tank, drop a bomb on something and pull out and have no wingtips. Has happened to me quite a few times.

Used to be with a lot of skill you could fly it home. They changed that somewhere along the lines so now it's so unstable you cannot fly planes missing both wingtips anymore (excepting maybe p-38s and 262s?). I don't think that's ever happened to me in a dora, though.

Sort of but you need to ease back the trim as you start leveling.  I've dove an A8 so fast it was buffeting so bad I could hardly see and I never ripped a wing off pulling out.

You can't rip a doras wings off i've tried after coming back afk at 30k + even at top speed with full trim you just black out

I agree.

I've never done it... compressed and augered yes. Ripped the wings. no.

When your in a dive, just use the rudder to slow you down enough to keep from completely compressing

[Krusty]

LOL! What did they do, shoehorn a new engine into that Fw190 warbird, or what? 4 blades?


EDIT: I know about the "new" 190s, but I thought they tried to replicate the engine, props, etc? Thought they did a very close replica.

[Citabria]

its an ash82 lavochkin russian engine in the flugwerk 190s

as for the 4 blade prop?

dunno

but its disassembled atm.

the engine is demolished and they are looking for another one.

I just held down the K and yanked the stick full back, watching e6b I had attained max speed even with the lock up/shaking cockpit she still pulled out quite easily. The 51 obviously can't do the same!
