Rumor mill- 100% size FW-190 replica in Phoenix area

Thu Dec 27, 2007 11:29 pm

Under construction????? Anyone know anything? Possibly Jurca design with wooden wings?

An acquaintance is building a 100% "modified" Jurca FW-190 for
a customer, but his shop is in Sisters Oregon (I do believe the
customer lives in Arizona somewhere....). Might be the same
guy/project, might not....???

The only one that I'm aware of is the Flug Werke model being built up by Jay Thinnes. I haven't heard anything about this in quite a while. Is it even still in his ownership?

Does the customer own a Harmon Rocket?

I don't know if the customer owns a Harmon Rocket or not, sorry....

In any event, the FW-190 builder is Vern Goodsell (same guy
who helped build the 100% scale, Jurca-based Spitfire replica
you may have have seen/heard about....).
