Kurt Tank, the designer of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, wanted to create a ‘workhorse’ rather than a ‘racehorse’. He succeeded with a solid aircraft designed around the air-cooled twin-row 14-cylinder BMW radial engine. The FW 190 was an excellent addition to the Luftwaffe’s fighter force and became the second standard fighter alongside the Me 109.

Of course maxFlite had no choice to make the FW 190 to one of our Gardenfighters. The wind wheel is made from stainless steel and thus as robust as the original. The painting scheme on the upper side is realized by weather proof stickers from cars. The maxFlite FW 190 bears the markings of Unteroffizier Ernst Schröder’s “Red 19”, which has the motto of the famous Cologne carnival, “Kölle Alaaf” painted on the left side and “Edelgard” on the other—the name of the pilot’s first love. Thanks to ball bearings the propeller starts rotating already at a breeze.

Of course maxFlite had no choice than to add the FW 190 to the delivery set of wind spinners for garden decoration. The wind wheel is made from stainless steel and thus as robust as the original. The painting scheme on the upper side is realized by weather proof stickers from cars. The maxFlite FW 190 bears the markings of Unteroffizier Ernst Schröder’s “Red 19”, which has the motto of the famous Cologne carnival “Kölle Alaaf” painted on the left side and “Edelgard” on the other—the name of the pilot’s first love. Thanks to ball bearings the propeller of this wind wheel starts rotating in your garden already at a breeze.

Assembly of the decorative wind wheel can be done within 5 minutes along the pictured user manual. A 70 cm pole made from aluminum is part of the delivery. It is just pushed into the ground of your garden or fixed to the balcony with cable ties.

Enjoy your maxFlite Focke Wulf 190 wind wheel “flying” over your garden at windy days. Please also have a look at our other wind wheels. Maybe you find a good wingman for your FW 190. Together with the legendary P-51 Mustang as maxFlite.de wind wheel it gives a nice combination.

Facts & Figures

Specific maxFlite wind wheel model: Fw 190A-8, 172733, flown by Unteroffizier Ernst Schröder, 5./JG 300 (fifth Staffel of the 300th Fighter Wing), in November 1944.

With 6,550 airframes produced, the A-8 is the most produced variant of the Fw 190. You can see a particularly beautifully restored Fw 190A-8 in the Aviation Museum in Hannover-Laatzen. That’s where maxFlite also got some inspiration for details of this elegant wind chime.
The Fw 190 was designed by well-known aircraft engineer Kurt Tank at Focke-Wulf Flugzeugbau GmbH in Bremen. City of Bremen is also the place of the wind wheel manufactory maxFlite.de.

Focke-Wulf staff also called the Fw 190 the “Würger” (shrike), while British pilots gave her the nickname “butcher-bird”, because her performance and armament caused the Allied fighters a good deal of trouble. The maxFlite.de Fw 190 wind wheel is rather peaceful and just an extraordinary eye-catcher to decorate your garden.
