David’s latest design is the Focke-Wulf FW 189A and it was developed in calibration with Chris Spangenberg & David Spinnetti with contributions from Roy Maynard. Additionally, these plans debut Andersen Designs NEW "Plans in Color".
This design could be easily powered by gas motors but its unique shape lends itself to be one of the most interesting electric aircraft at any R/C event. |

The primary full scale production of the FW 189A reconnaissance plane was built mostly in two variants, the A-1 and A-2. All aircraft were powered by two Argus As 410 engines of 465 PS (459 hp, 342 kW).
Even before WWII the need for dedicated tactical and strategic level reconnaissance platform was apparent to the Luftwaffe. In an effort to replace a fleet of newly minted Henschel Hs 126 high-winged monoplanes, the German Air Ministry drew up plans in 1937 for a more advanced, dedicated reconnaissance design driven by a single engine and housing a crew of three(3).
Both ARADO and Focke-Wulf took up the challenge. Focke-Wulf’s twin engine design was chosen over ARADO’s single engine design. |
| Called the Fliegendes Auge (Flying Eye) of the German Army, the FW 189 was used extensively on the Eastern Front with great success. It was nicknamed "Rama" by Soviet forces, referring to its distinctive tail-boom and stabilizer shapes, giving it a quadrangular appearance. Despite its low speed and fragile looks, the FW 189's maneuverability made it a difficult target for attacking Soviet fighters. The FW 189 was often able to out-turn attacking fighters by flying in a tight circle into which enemy fighters could not follow. |
