The same armament as found on an FW 190 A8. This Ultra Sport is gonna have an 'attitude'.

I just learned that while researching the guns for this model.

Its in my garage trying to dry; its too stinky to put in my basement workshop right now. I'll take some pictures and post them tomorrow. The plane is going to need a Revi 3d gunsight. I'll start on that tomorrow.

I'm looking for suggestions for a 'reliable' on-off switch for this model. Of course I could always use a simple Futaba switch but I'm thinking that something a little more robust might be in order. Any comments?

Are you aware of a pin and flag arrangement that is nice and simple?

I've attached a picture of the real thing and one of my replica. I made it from sheet plastic and brass tubing. The lens is made of epoxy in a brass tube.
