Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone ®
Focke-Wulf 190. The famous Focke-Wulf 190 was gener-
ally regarded as Germany’s best fighter of World War
II. The FW-190 helped the Germans in their intended
conquest of Europe, and brought fear and trepidation
to many of the Allied fighter pilots. With the beautifully
detailed ParkZone FW-190, you can envision yourself
fighting in the skies of Western Europe against the Allied
forces and their collection of Mustangs and Spitfires.
Your ParkZone FW-190 RTF purchase includes every-
thing needed to get you in the air—all in one box! You
will only need to attach the wing and horizontal tail, and
charge the battery pack, prior to taking to the air for
your first flight. Everyone at ParkZone is committed to
giving you the most enjoyable flight experience you can
have. In order to have a safe and successful flight, we
ask that you do not fly until you have read these instruc-
tions thoroughly.
The ParkZone FW-190 comes with a fully proportional
3-channel FM radio system, with full control of throttle,
ailerons, and elevator. If you are not experienced at fly-
Focke-Wulf 190 Instruction Manual
ing one of HobbyZone’s 3-channel aircraft, or any other
3-channel radio controlled aircraft, we recommend that
you do not fly this aircraft. If you still choose to fly, you
will need to seek the help of an experienced radio con-
trol pilot during your beginning flights. This is especially
important if you have not flown a 3-channel airplane
with aileron control as one of the channels. Crash dam-
age is not covered under the warranty!
Your ParkZone FW-190 is equipped with the exclusive
Mode Change Flight Control ™ system. The computer
onboard the airplane is programmed with two flight
modes, giving you the opportunity to select the mode
that’s most comfortable for you. Mode A limits the
travel of the ailerons and elevator to allow a less-expe-
rienced pilot to have an easier time transitioning to fly-
ing with pitch control. It also allows experienced flyers
to have a smooth and relaxing flight. Mode B allows for
full control at all times. This mode, where the control
surfaces move at a more extreme throw than when
they are in mode A, is for those who are experienced
and looking for maximum performance.
Step 1
Setting Up the Transmitter
1. Insert 8 new “AA” batteries (supplied) into the
transmitter, observing proper polarity.
2. Turn the switch on and check to make sure the
LED is illuminated, which indicates that the bat-
teries have been installed correctly. Once this is
confirmed, turn the radio off.
3. You’ll need to replace the transmitter “AA” bat-
teries whenever you hear the low-battery alarm
(beeping sound) being emitted from the transmit-
ter. To elongate the life of your “AA” batteries,
remove them from your transmitter when you are
not using it.
