Hi All,

Whilst plundering through my basement, I stumbled across a Jemco FW 190 kit.  It was the "40" size semi scale R/C from about 20 (or more) years ago.

I would really like to build this one up for scale.  Engine??  I will be using 3 line set up as I have several bellcranks and a handle.

I guess it would classify as "Fun Scale". ()

What do I need in terms of documentation for this project?   The building isn't a worry, but knowing what I REALLY need to have to enter a contest is what I have no clue about.

Thanks!

Bill,
The 190 could be a Sport Scale model. I'm not familiar with it to know whether it is reasonably accurate in outline. Rules for required documentation are in the rule book which is downloadable from the AMA web site. Beyond that I would suggest that you make your documentation easy for the judges to follow and don't confuse them. By this I mean don't do something like show the tail of a 190-A and say "the tail wheel is the same as a D-9." Or "this photo of a Me-109 shows the proper squadron insignia."

Hi guys, new here.... On a side note, I spoke with the guy that used to make these kits indirectly for Jemco/Marks models. He is currently looking into bringing these kits back... It took quite a few emails to convince him that they would sell if he and his partner took on this endeavor.  I had the fw190 years ago and it was awesome.

Welcome, Peter1

I have had this kit for years.  I was doing R/C back then since there was no one to fly C/L with.  I built the basic fuselage, but never have sheeted the wings.

I just need to ge down what is actually done as to the presentation, etc., for the different classes of scale.

Dale Campbell (FAI Scale team member) i a member of our club, but the club is 100 miles away!  I really only get to see him at meets twice a year.

Thanks, Walter.  What class did you win?

Walter;
    I could not get your link to work.  I did enjoy your pictures though.

Sorry, I dont know why that happened,  what if you try to right click and open in new window.

Other shot...

I think Charlie Reeves beautiful FW-190D is a Jemco kit. He made it into one of the nicest FW's I have ever seen.
My son flew his Guillows FW-190A at the same Nats as Charlie with his much bigger 190D, and if I look around long enough I could find and post the pics.
