anyone have the Rechlin 190A4 test chart?

Sadly, I don't have a Fw 190A-4 test chart, but I have ground level speeds at climb and combat power (2400 rpm) for W.Nr. 619, which I think was one of the 30 a/c modified to A-4/U3 form, and for W.Nr. 669, which was a A-4/U8 TF+FQ. This is from "Flugleistungen F W 190 mit Abwurflasten" of 9.2.43 (9 Feb 43). The main part of the report consists of calculations for various loads at ground level and critical altitude. Then, it gives the comparable values as flown by Flugabteilung, Wensendorf, in the above two a/c, but only for ground level.

If you want them just say so.

PS. I also have various values from British reports based on the first A-4/U8 they captured, but think they have been calculated, not flown. They also give values for the 109G with 250kg bomb and two underwing drop tanks. Hmm, I wonder if the 109G could have taken such a load?
