Black Horse Fw-190 1/4 scale model UMS 180cc radial 

Thank you. A few little changes and you get quite a scale FW-190 from this kit!

Thank you. Looking right on the ground is only 50% of the battle. Luckily she is a joy to fly

Thanks mate. It was fun to detail and paint and I was much happier with the finish over stock

Odlicno za 10

Haha! Very kind of you

Thanks mate. She’s ready to fly top cover for the Ju-88 now😎

I have not had any drama with mine. And the $2K difference helps

Thank you. She is a pleasure to fly

Thank you. It’s a gasoline engine and mixed with oil. Yes it needs a long breaking in process.

I used an 18mm spacer block to mount the engine on the standard firewall. The bolt that goes along the edge of the firewall has its recessed head in the back of that block and the nut on the engine mount side. you can then use a "normal" bolt though the spacer block through the firewall in a more convenient position.

@@ticketec ok thanks so much. Makes sense.

I have seen one fly with the 125cc and it was fairly marginal on power. I would recommend use only 2 blade prop, to get the maximum out of the engine. The 180 flies comfortably on just over 1/2 throttle

So far it has been great! I’ve got plenty of flight with it now and love it

Hi, do you have the 2600mm span Fw-190? I have seen these fly with a 125cc radial and it was marginal in power. The Saito may not have the power for a 1/4 scale. I did do an engine baffle at the front of the cowl to make sure all incoming air must come over the cooling fins. I also made another opening on the bottom of the cowl a little larger than the exhaust openings on the sides.

@@ticketec Thank you i've seen the fg 84 fly this bird decently however a 150 or 180 must be a better option i'm looking forward for an ums one bur not enough intel that day about the reliability of these engine....

@@ticketec hi after all the consideration and testing with my fg 84 , i ve decided to follow your way for my fw. I m planning to put the 180 ums, my concern is about the location battery forward in the fuselage, for a perfect achievement of cg, and my last question is which size is your fuel tank for the 180 ? It's my first experience with a five cylinders, despite the bad reputation of ums in the past, I'm gonna try following your way. Thanks you very much for your reply that for sure will help me a lot overseas. Best regards from France.

@@castlefranck3979 Great move! All 3 of my battery's are in the tail compartment, under the tailwheel hatch. My fuel tank is 750ml, and I use only about 1/3 for a 7 minute flight. I am 1/2 throttle or less for most of the flights. You can see some of my build here, and I can respond with more pictures if needed: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3214715-New-Blackhorse-Model-2-6m-Fw190

@@ticketec Thanks you very much

Yes. Originally it was Seidel radials from Germany

Hi, the paint is PPG Dulon automotive acrylic paint with a 2k flat clear coat to finish. The paint was custom mixed to match RLM paint chips I have.

26x16

Do you think the engine could take a 28x14?

2 blade? Yeah it should spin that fine. Run in was done with a 30x10. 3 blade, maybe. She feels a little under prop’d at the moment, 28x14 would be interesting to try

It’s the Blackhorse kit, with customizations to make it look the way it does

Biela 26x16 3 blade

Awsome I am currently building the exact same model with the 180ums 5cyl. How did you find the CQ? Did you have add much tail weight?

@@crzycro982 I have all my batteries in the tail wheel compartment and added no lead at all.

It’s a German WW2 aircraft… the markings are there purely for the sake of being historically accurate. Good work on your virtue signaling 🙄
