There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

1980's for me. Last time I flew a Cox hobbies line control plane was around 1989.

I was too poor as a kid to even have one of those line control planes so it was just those balsa wood throwable planes with the rubber-band powered propellers for me. biggrin
