Yes, but the ASh/Housai licence isn't excactly a copy of the 801 and secondly, Paul Allen's baby (the one in the facebook picture and vid) sports a real one too, so neeenaaa ;)

S!

The French owned Fw190 had several problems with the ASh/Housai engine before taking the dip, from what I read. And that Fw190A-5 and later F-8 with REAL engines would be great to see in the air. It is like the FlugWerk's Fw190D-9 that uses an Allison engine..uhoh the blasphemy! Sure, there are not a lot of Jumo 213's around though. But bottom line..at least we see these birds in the air again after long time.

As an Anton 8 lover, i say thank you very much.

First time I hear a real BMW 801! Excellent!
