- This is an engine startup of Rudy Frasca's new-build Flug Werk-built Focke-Wulf FW 190 at the Planes of Fame Museum in Chino, California. A very impressive replica of the WWII FW-190, this aircraft was built in Germany and was assembled by Matt Nightingale in California with quite a few innovative features (i.e. newly designed oil coolers, for one). There are several other of these aircraft flying today by lucky owners. Quite an impressive aircraft, just beautifully built and it includes a number of original WWII Focke-Wulf components. And it sounds great too! This aircraft is flown quite often and it is currently intended for it to be shown at the Planes of Fame's annual airshow, Oshkosh and the Reno Air Races in 2011. Nice!
Hearing an old war bird no matter what side of the war it was on is still a treat.
replica!
Old engine, new airframe. I sat in this -190 when she was still in Illinois. It's a bit of a tight fit.
The engine ain't original
except for the F3F to the F6F, those didn't sound too well. If you want some REAL sound get the F7F or F8
@@TheArcticFoxxo - Pratt & Whitney R2800! The F7F Tigercat is twice the fun with 2 18 cyl. Double Wasps.
In my opinion.. the wulf was the coolest and most badass looking plane in the Second World War
Such an amazingly awesome warbird! After 75-80 years they are still magnificent pieces of machines!
Thanks from new Germany 🤦♂️
it is a new airplane .. no restoration
This is my favorite WWII German fighter. Beautiful airplane.
What a Glorious looking airplane !!!
The big round engines have always been temperamental with starting, which gives them a unique charm. Also remember that wartime aircraft were brand-new at the time and had a skilled ground crew to keep them warmed up and maintained in top condition.
Probably a trick or two that's been lost as well. I watched a video of a 109 pilot showing how to start it. He shows one way with his hands all crossed up and says that's what the book says but don't do that and shows the much improved way they figured out to do it. He said the book way was awkward and they were finicky and apt not to start if you didn't have everything just right. That unfortunately is just the sort of knowledge that tends to get lost.
@carbster010: Yes, this aircraft does have a P&W R-2800 engine. It is very slightly larger in diameter than the original BMW 801, but it fit. It did present some oil-cooling problems but they are being resolved. The fellow in the plaid shirt and shorts seen checking the aircraft while it was running is Matt Nightingale and he was the one who put the aircraft together with the R-2800. Some of the other FW-190s completed have the Russian ASh-82 (M-82) engine.
Ash 82 = 1700 Hp...no bad
0:19 Yo, that is Mario's "Yah hoo" XD
If i was a billionaire, i would collect WW2 fighter planes
Mark Diebels same!
I don't need to say "hum what car should i take today?"
just give me a hangar with a P51 Mustang, BF109, BF110 and FW190. In my case i would say: hum what start up switch should I press today?
(Okay im going to be honest, im a car guy and aircraft enthusiast, with a hangar and more than one car Is enough for me... Now I have to go the first Step after think in that, be billionaire )
actual car: just a simple 90s Mazda protege
Don't we all lol
I would restore a Dora-9
@EnterpriseXI: Yes, an original FW 190 was meticulously restored for Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft. It was completed and test flown just a few weeks ago (as of Jan. 2011). It has an original WWII BMW 801 engine, the only one flying today. Even the ORIGINAL radio was restored to operational status and just that took an entire year to complete. The aircraft is now at Paul Allen's Museum, the Flying Heritage Collection in Everett, Washington, USA and it will be flown occasionally.
Then why does it have electric starter and not the inertia starter that was originally used on this engine??
@@siskjnel6910 the BMW 801 did not have a inertia starter
Let's see Paul Allen's aircraft
@@leneanderthalien Are you sure ? The A8 in DCS has a electric inertial starter . Also the video "FW190 A5 BMW801 Engine startup" shows a inertial starter .
@@ketelin4285 The standard German starter for fighters, it is electrically driven and uses a flywheel, not unlike the starter for the soviet ASh radials on the I-16 and the AN-2 among others. It is both electrical and inertial, perhaps there was confusion on the starter type from the source citing the electrical part of it.
My dad, a B-17 pilot in the 385th BG, told me more than once he considers this version 190 the most beautiful fighter of the war. Though he did not care to see them all that much because there were usually 20-30 of them... LOL. He much preferred to see Mustangs, Lightnings, Thunderbolts and Spitfires sharing the sky with his bomb group.
This is a 1 gorgeous airplane! Sometimes they don't look real to me in color, the opposite impression my father has ;)
I love the look of the A series myself,
Nice restoration! I love the Focke Wulf fighters, both the short nose version (BMW 801 radial engine) and the long nose version (Junkers Jumo 213 inline engine) I’m a believer in historic accuracy and authenticity in Luftwaffe aircraft, including the swastika !👍👍👍
+Wayland Lee This one is not a restoration but a Flugwerk replica from a project in Germany. The project goal was a lower cost option for the high performance warbird collector, lower insurance, etc. They were sold as bare kits with buyers completing assembly. The owner for this one went in a new direction and installed a P&W R-2800 and a custom cowling. Very nice. Flugwerk sold about 21 examples, but only around 9 or 10 are complete and flying.
Wondering if there is a BMW 801 running...😅
Best looking FW190 ever.
Amazing startup of a classic bird. Classic engine sound.
One of the best Fighters in ww2
That reminds me, it's spring, gotta get the string trimmer started.
If all engines in military vehicles were two stroke, we'd never have wars, they'd be too busy trying to start the freakin' things to attack.
Spray a big blast of SeaFoam into the carb. Let it sit overnight. Fresh gas next day and enjoy your smoke cloud!
UNBELIEVABLE. So cool that there are such talented folks out there who can build something like this.
Beautiful plane. I appreciate the swastika on the vertical stabilizer. It's a chilling reminder that human nature is not morally straight.
Oh boy, one of those closet Naziphiles that complain when they have to cover the swastika when flying these in Germany.
Yeah, people should really stop complaining about swastikas on historical pieces, drop the past and move on
Dear Santa...
Duggie Bader that and a tiger and a bv238
Man!, that starter is working mighty, mighty hard. Sure sounds great when it finally catches, though. FW-190 fought for the bad guys but sure is a good looking plane! Definitely one of my favorites.
that guy standing by the prop is quite brave
+ Dave D The prop arc is way inside the landing gear track. The man is standing outside, so it's just a trick of the eye.
one of the best [ and beaudifull ] plane of ww2
The replica Fw190s are scale, with a few changes from production line models such as using an oil cooler and intake in the upper gun bay, no weapons or armor installed by the manufacturer, larger fuel tanks and a different engine. They were sold as semi-complete kits (for lower costs) and the buyer of this replica has added an 18 cylinder R2800 with a slightly larger cowl. The original Fw190 had a 14 cylinder radial.
The "Butcher Bird". 😁
Very nice historical aircraft.....and I care not who you are!
I'm Dutch and on Dutch soil many b17's and 24's are butchered by this bird.
What a beautiful aircraft - it looks like a predator, even on the ground!
butcherbird say the britans to this fighter, thinking why.
I don't care about how she started up...it's all just music to my ears....I can't get enough!
Those starters take a beating turning over that massive engine.
Nice the pláne and painting too.
The spinner is awesome!!
I've been meaning to get down to the Chino museum for a while now. I live about a hundred miles from there. Would love to see Jack Northrop's small flying wing they've restored to flying status, but now with this beauty being there I've got to get a trip together. The 190 was truly one of the most beautiful and deadly fighters of WWII.
a real life fw 190. Impressive ! And I live really close to the planes of fame air museum.
Best engineering in the world.
What an absolutely stunning WW2 classic!!!
+Andy Preston It's a new-build replica. The only thing on it from WW2 is the original tail wheel unit.
lovely fw-190 startup ,i like the colour schemd for the fw-190 ,i want to start building my fw-190 kits soon ,love to see the that lovely fw-190 in america oneday ☺
Gorgeous fw 190 😊
hell of a machine! grandpa's had a few run ins with these .
Was and always will be a beautifully designed airplane.
Please BRING this Focke-Wulf 190 back to the Reno Air Races in 2016 ! Wonderful to see it fly by in the VOS !
What a nice aircraft and a very cool sound. I like that choice of markings and camouflage very much. Thumbs up! :)
Love white socked Darrell walking around - sharp as a tack..
yes, and it looks he have a very good connection to the prop 😲
No matter what side made them, WW2 warplanes are the most awesome era of flying ever
One of the best in its time
I could spend a whole day listening to this!
My favourite Warbird fantastic aircraft...where's that lottery ticket?
@octane130
The efforts to preserve the originality in Allen's example is very impressive from what I've read. His museum has a reputation for high standards, remanufacturing any missing components or materials as original when needed. They've also worked very hard to get the paint colors correct.
I love the 190’s startup sound. It’s so fitting for such a brutal and evil aircraft. It sounds like a savage dog that’s about to rip your limbs off.
The old girl looks brand new and as menacing as ever. Great restoration work!
+ Rickey Mitchell It's a new-build aircraft.
Heureux de voir de telles avions restaurés ... Merci
Why can't we just appreciate the plane for it's design and not reduce this post to screaming and name calling?!?!?!?!?
It is a very cool aeroplane; no matter what :)
@@brents223 Funny how the Hammer and Sickle doesn't elicit the same response, even though it was multiple times worse, and is proudly displayed in our current troubles. Problem is that people generally don't know their history. And the leftists want to keep it that way.
@ianh Ahhh. So you then believe in the comment Stalin made, namely "Kill one man, you are a murderer. Kill a million men, you are a conqueror." You are entitled to your opinion, but most of us, not of the leftist ideologue, who are based in historical fact, disagree with your opinion vehemently. I am sure the dead would agree as well.
Reminds me of this interview i saw with a polish exile who flew in the RAF... he was describing how there were Focke’s coming at him from out of the sun. When the interviewer pointed out, for the audience’s benefit, that a Focke was a type of german aeroplane, the grizzled old polish ace corrected him saying “no but dis fockes was flyin messerschmidts!”
I love planes of fame airshow
I don't know if its an optical illusion, but that guy needs to get the F further away from that propellor. The pilot clearly continues to use the starter so its not like he's needed to handturn it around more.
wheels of the aircraft the landing gear are wider than the propeller width so he is safe
Even if the wheels are far away I'd be a lot farther than that lol. Don't want to be anywhere near the thing.
Anderson it will be ok.
You obviously don't work in aviation. There is a reason for him and he is there because procedures call for a fire guard.
Even though the radial engines weren't favored over the in line engines, this plane with its wide wheel platform made it good for the less experienced pilots to land..rugged and maneuverability...such a think of deadly beauty!
THAT BACKFIRE IS INTENTIONAL TO SCRAE THE ENEMY JUST LIKE A STUKA SIREN
Extremely well done. Hans Dortenmann.
Beautiful plane
That thing idles like a champ
Wish i could afford one.Awesome!
look at the interlacing on the prop, P over I any day
Love the fw btw thx
love the sound,
Its been awhile since these ears have heard a radial
It is indeed a masterpiece.
I can listen to that backfire all day lol
best looking plane of the war.
@EnterpriseXI
The Paul Allen A-5 example is getting her paint now after flight testing. Another A-8 is still under rebuild for the White 1 Foundation and is supposed to fly when done.
I would love to fly these wonderful planes.
Extremely nice - a serious bit of gear.
@EnterpriseXI
The Flying Heritage Collection's original A-5 was test flown, painted, and is now continuing with test flights. Another original example, an A-8, is being completed for the White 1 Foundation and will fly when completed.
A very handsome fighter plane.
Nice video and flying machine - surprised no nearby fire cover if this really was the first start after 35 years
@thegoosebrain
Not the plane from forest outside of St. Petersburg. That one is now in flight testing after restoration and will be on public display in June 2011.
This one is one of the FlugWerk replicas, but it was fitted with an R-2800 instead of the ASh-82 radial. Several replicas are close to flying after construction. A total of 21 replicas were constructed for sale.
Cont. That explains the four-blade prop. More than one replica exists and the example above is fitted with an R-2800 with a Hamilton Standard prop. Hence the skinny blades, though I thought I had read some time ago that custom blades were being made for a more original appearance.
i just love these wolrd war 2 planes....
they are true planes
At the King's River Boat Drags 1969 I saw an Allison V12 start and it backfired so hard it tore the welds on both sides of the ¼" aluminum carb scoop. 12"s of welds on both sides. The boat was the Assassin.
it's a beauty isn't it
Beautiful old plane great design the FW 19 .Thanks for posting this. I still prefer the P51D Mustang out of them all though
me too .....thanks kurt
Don't know if it was built in Germany, but I saw one in the construction phase in a hangar at Frasca Field in Champagne Il, sometime near 1998, and if you look at the wheel door cover, it says 'FRASCA'. I took photos of it. (pre digital camera days). The engine was Russian made, 18 cylinder 2 bank Fuel Injected, turbo charged radial engine.
+Paul Moffat It is one of the Flugwerk replicas that were sold as kits to buyers to complete construction. Flugwerk was a German company but the kits were manufactured in Romania. Flugwerk founder Claus Colling passed away a few years ago and the Fw-190 project and parts were sold to Gosshawk in Arizona. The builders for Frasca did not use the Russian/Chinese ASh engine (14 cylinder) but went with an R-2800 Pratt. Only nine or ten of the twenty-one Flugwerks have flown, with a few accidents. I think another buyer is also planning to use an R-2800.
These new-build replicas had a new design three-blade prop with electric prop controls. One of the first flying suffered a prop failure with a blade going into full feather with severe engine vibration and a crash. The four blade prop is the original Tu-2 prop for the ASh-82 engines in the replicas, and was a substitute until the prop failure was corrected. The fix was to switch to mechanical prop controls and the three blade is back.
No, this replica flies with an R-2800 while other replicas use the ASh-82 14-cylinder radial. There is currently only one original Fw190 flying with the BMW 801 with a couple of other restorations in progress.
Wow! Interlaced video. When have we last seen that!?
This has to be one of the most respected German Lufftewaffe fighters. We had to build the F8F Bearcat to counter its threat.
The late model FW190's had an inline engine providing it with even more horsepower.
The F8F was built to counter the kamikazes in the Pacific...The FW-190 was a great plane in anybody's book, and wasn't matched until the Spitfire Mark IX. It didn't do as well as most Allied types above 20,000 feet, and that was fixed with the FW-190 Dora long nose, truly one of the best fighters of the war.
Not sure about that. I believe it was more made to Intercept in general, It could out climb everything as of what I have read.
gcwcab1994 Not out climb, but nothing in the air could roll as fast as the FW190. It just wasn't that special above 20,000 feet, until the advent of the long nose Dora model. Altitude changes everything when discussing various attributes on fighters. The Mark 9 Spit could certainly out climb a FW. Even the later P-47's could do so...I just attended a discussion with 4 P-47 pilots at Planes of Fame and they said this as well. That didn't apply to the early models, however. BTW, it was great to hear these old guys speak, we are losing them fast these days.
Doug Castleman I guess P47's are great match(more than a match to be honest) against Antons but Dora FWs had greater climb rates and better performance in medium ALT I assume.
When i said out climb everything, I meant the Bearcat.
The R2800 is 2800 cubic inches displacement. The BMW 801 is around 2650 cubic inches. It is only slightly smaller.
Please come back to the Reno Air Races this year !
This should come to EAA Airventure in Oshkosh this year!
This is just absolutely beautiful, Id love to know more about it. I.E what engine they used how much it cost, what it sounds like in the air ... all the goodies :)
Man that engine...
period correct!
カッコいいー！いつか、みにいきたい。
Best imitation of Mel Blanc imitating a starting engine.
@thegoosebrain
The business model for the project was to offer a lower-cost warbird package for buyers, so they were sold as unfinished airframes with an engine that had a good parts supply. Buyers completed the project with all electrical, hydraulics, and avionics. Owner-assembly allowed lower insurance costs and ownership costs. The base price for the kits was 555,000 Euro. The entire project, including fuselage jigs, and remaining parts and planes is now for sale, but I don't know the costs.
@vetitoe362
Sorry, YT organizes comments funny. Yes, that is the forest Fw190 which was meticulously restored and has joined the Flying Heritage Collection. Look for videos of the two flying displays that have been performed so far.
If you were as old as this engine, you'd be pretty worn out too. Imagine how often this plane flew during the war.
Not the original engine.
Good replica, gotta be lucly to build and own one.
@FiveCentsPlease I will do that, I think it is great to have that 190 and the 109, both combat veterans, and painted as they were when they went down (I am not sure they are both in the same collection though). I would take one of these Flug Wurk 190's though, if anyone is bored with theirs.
A German company produced a series of 12 full-scale replica kits as a lower cost warbird option for buyers, including the one above fitted with an R-2800 engine. This was increased to 21 replicas, powered by a Russian/Chinese engine. Some are flying while others are still in assembly. Original blueprints were incomplete, so there was some reverse-engineering needed. (An owner of an original told me the replica parts are hard to fit with original parts.)
Is is full-scale. There are also a few semi-scale Fw190s built by W.A.R. Aircraft Replicas.
Seems crazy that they built it to print, except the cowl and 2x speed fan which seems crazy to me.
@vetitoe362
No, this is one in a series of replica aircraft which are mostly original-looking but have replacement engines and other small changes. The original Fw190 discovered in a forest is fully restored now and has begun limited flying displays at the museum where it is permanently displayed.
See this plane all the time flying around my work plus the zero an i think its a british plane he also has a p51 mustang beautiful sight to watch
So cool!
