Re: Fw 190 A-4 W.Nr. 140586?

Hello Steve,

Thank you for the additional options. I ruled out the A-6, A-8 and F-8 since these aircraft already had a KG 13B control stick. Only the early subtypes were equipped with a KG 14 control stick. I once read a report of JG 26 pilots complaining about the size of the KG 14 and that it was difficult to operate the buttons and gun selector switch. It could be that some of the A-6 still had KG 14s, but all photos I know of A-6 show a KG 13B and if I remember correctly also the manual mentions a KG 13B.

Roger
