Having recently purchased the Focke Wulf FW-190 I was curious to compare it to the BF-109. I have to give kudos to the paint, It is semi glossy and very well applied with the exception of a few spots on the cowl area. The foam came with some minor dents, but this was the case with the FW-190 as well. Mostly just fantastic looking. Being a scale enthusiast, I appreciated that the waterslide decals were expertly applied. What I didnt appreciate were all the stupid dynam and tomcat stickers ruining the look of what otherwise would be very scale. Please leave those off in the future! Something else I need to point out was the spinners on both the 109 and the 190 were waaayyyy out of balance causing terrible vibration. I was able to mount them on my prop balancer. They required a large glob of hot glue to get them to balance and spin true. Both Dynam motors sound like they rolled the bearings around in the sand for a while before installing. This was not the case with older Dynam planes I purchased. This is not acceptable. For me it didn't matter because I pitched the stock motors anyway for more powerful motors. The 109 did not require any extraordinary measures to get the c.g. right. I did have to use course sandpaper on a wood block to open up the battery compartment on the sides to install a 4s 3000mah battery. not a big deal. I will say that the landing gear struts on the 109 are far more rigid than the 190s gear being somewhat shorter. I was expecting to be dragging a wing tip on landing because of the narrow gear but I was very surprised, mine lands straight down the runway and I have yet to drag a wing. I think the 109 is iconic, like the spitfire in its own way and Dynam has captured that very well. Shout out to the new retracts, very scale, I.E. slow and never fail to go up and down, so far. The flaps work great but I had a little trouble getting enough aileron travel to get the roll rate I wanted. I had to move the clevises into the closest hole to the ailerons to get as much travel as possible and 130% travel on my Spektrum radio. Awesome plane, Really happy with the purchase! Keep up the good work, Dynam!
