FW 190 D9

[Otterkins2]

Has anybody got a good clear shot (the larger the better) of the tail wheel on this beast from the port side? It's driving me batty trying to figure out the locking linkage arrangement. How can you draw what you don't understand?

[BLOWHARD]

Let me look, it might take me a day or two to get to it though...
Sounds like you need that German Aircraft Undercarriage book, anyone here have it?

OMW they print books on this . . . . thx 4 the heads up BH

[Zamex]

Check this..

[Otterkins2]

Excellent shot Zamex! Still can't see what's going on behind the rods though.

[Zamex]

Maybe this helps?

[Otterkins2]

Even more help yet Zamex! TYVM! Look at the shapes BEHIND the yoke and brake arm though. This is the area that is confusing me. Actually this tail wheel setup was common to most of the later Fw 190's, so any picture that gives me a clear understanding of that area will help enormously. Am I being too fussy about my line drawings?

[AGNT_Matt]

Otter you're never too fussy pal back home in 3-4 days get profiling again

[BLOWHARD]

Isn't it standard for all 190s?
No one has the landing gear book?
Have you seen these Otter?




I'm not sure if I understand which part you can figure out, you mean the double cylinder that the yoke and leg attach too?
