Question about fw190 A4 in 4.11m

[sagittario]

Hi
I noticed that it's possible fly at maximum power (88%) for prolonged time and radiators semi open without damaging the engine. (Moscow campaign)

At what speed and level of flight started the landing process? Is not same procedure for bf 109.

I try and get under 300kph before the final turn on to the field. It's a very different beast from the 109 and it's best to remember that. Even with the radiator full open the plane doesn't loose nearly as much speed as a 109.

The last two FW190 landings had me going into the grass at the end of the runway. It's not always an easy one for landing.

I've been using manual prop pitch 100% for landing.

[sagittario]

Is normal that pitch must be 100% in
takeoff and landing. My opinion is that
the flight model is not accurate as
regards the landing.
This is a warbird not a glider.

Maybe something like this... Just keep twisting and weaving around, no prolonged turns and you'll be a difficult target.

Excuse the resolution..YT chopped it.

I found this note in web.
I resolve my problem about landing procedure.
Remember prop pitch set to auto and power at 20-30%
Warning! the stall occours at left side below 160 km/h.
---Landing---
Lower Flaps and Gear under 300 km/h
