I have always thought they were a beautiful airplane, always wondered if they were really as a hard to fly as some accounts say.
A very pretty bird takes flight.
I hope Ajay likes it, as he has just modeled a masterpiece 109.

Awesome... notice there was no little blue flames coming from the exhausts... pity most WWII flight sims keep showing them in daylight. You would only see them in darkness or very low light conditions.

I know a guy who flies Buchons. Test pilot, immensely experienced on Mustangs, Spitfires, Sea Furies and Corsairs. He just told me he doesn’t know if the Buchon is his friend or if it wants to kill him at all times Says it is a handful on the ground, and shakes and vibrates a lot more than other warbirds because there is no rubber in the engine mounts, the visibility is interesting, but it flies well with the automated radiator flaps and the slats.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Notice when first rolled out, one slat is closed and the other is open.
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.

Yeah, they are spring-actuated, and held in place by airflow. They are calibrated to open above a certain angle of attack.

Apparently she's an ex JG27 machine.
