Sandman is on a distinguished road
looking for info on Heinrich Baer and his FW-190

Hi..

I*m in the prosess of building av replica of Henrich Baer`s Fw-190 "rote 13".. (1:5 scale flying rc model, with every rivet\panels\hatches antennas, full scaled out cockpit AND a seven cylinder radial engine :-)

After som time of searching the net, I*m a little confused.. :-)
Werk.nr on my subject is 431007

I think that its an A8, but on several places I read that it was a A7.. What is correct..?

I have allso seen that he flew a FW-190 "Rote 23", during his time at JG-1. Is this correct..?

Does any of you know of a good source of info on both the man, and the planes that he flew.. I think I have read about all that is available online, so any pointers to books would be great help.

If the Rote 13 was, as I beleve, an A8. Could any confirm that it had its outer guns removed, to encrease roll rate..?

Finally, I have read that JG-1 Oseau did only have the JG-1 emblem on the port side of the cowl, but EVERY model that I have seen of Rote 13, it has the emblem on both sides. I have allso read that JG-1, allso only had it on the port side.. Would it not be viable that the Rote 13 allso only had the emblem on port side..?

Sorry for all the questions, but this RC model is to become of extrem scale, so its importent for me to get every detail as accurate as possible...

Best regards

Sandman
