We currently work on the plans for it, and then we can start building. What kind of construction you would like? Composite, or wood construction? We can build to any request. Most would like at least to have the fiberglass fuse, which I would recommend, and which we most likely will do.

You can PM me with any questions.

What size? Can you get it unfinished so it can be scaled out? What motor reccomendation.

(all for the FW190)

we are specialized in scale details if needed, and we can offer you unfinished, so you can do all the scale details yourself.

Size I am thinking of around 130-140", but if you want any other size, we can do that for you.
Again, we custom build, so each plane is an unique plane, made idividual for the customer. No mass production, and our prices will be competitive to the mass productions.

I have not figured out what engine I would use myself. If you will do a composite finish on the plane it will have some more weight as a wood built one, so a stronger engine will be needed.

I will try somewhere with a 200cc, and then see how it performs.

For example my big Seafury and Bearcat that I am building should be good with a 275cc, and that is a huge wingspan, and will weight close to 100lbs (flying weight).

Can you have the big Ultimate built to come in around 40lbs, or sell it in kit form?
What about a 40-50% Pitts m-12 @ 35-40lbs?

A 50% Ultimate to be around 40lbs is quite impossible. Allthough I am working now on a 140" Ultimate and will see where we can safe some weight.

I can make you a Kit, and you can assemble it, but I won't have a plan to provide.

As for the Pitts, currently I am working on a bigger one. Also here I will have to see where we can save weight to make it lighter, and the bigger Pitts wont have the flying wires.

Send me your requests via PM, and I will get you exactly what you want.

Why not, a 46% can be under 40lbs no problem, 4% bigger and keep it @ 40lbs+/- shouldnt be difficult.

I would love to see what you come up with for a bigger M-12 w/o flying wires, somewhere around 110"-118" ws would be sweet, that could be kept around 40lbs also. And people can use a 170 or so instead of a bank breaking 275 or bigger.
We modified a 40% yak to come in at 36lbs ready to fly with a 170, and these generally come in anywhere from 52-59lbs, so Im sure it can be done.

Also take a look at this thread........Ultra Light 55% Extra 260

I discussed it with my builder and we will try to make the 50% Ultimate and the bigger Ultimate around 40lbs (or close to that).

As for the Pitts, I will build a Pitts Special in 120" wingspan, and will try to keep the weight down there as well. Yet on all planes, we will have to make the strong.

I will announce on this thread our new products, keep coming back.

I know you have been talking with John Licht about a 105" wingspan Pitts Challenger/Wolf Pitts/Promethius.

I have wanted an Exclusiv Modelbau one for years but have no time to build and certainly not the budget for just the kit alone costs a small fortune.

The H9 Ultimate is getting long in the tooth (out of date) and a 150-210 CC Pitts Challenger would do very well here in the states so long as you can keep the weight down.

I have at least two friends that would buy this airplane if it were available.

The Pitts challenger is on my list to get out this year as well. I can make it to a size you want. Just PM me with your email address, and your requests, and I will give you an estimate and delivery time.
