An interesting discussion at http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread47954/pg1
An alternative (and possibly more correct - since it was originally built and flown with the straight wing?) impression can be found here http://translate.google.co.uk/translate ... n%26sa%3DN
Information on where to find drawings .... http://www.luftwaffe-experten.org/forum ... topic=2181
The following text was from a russian site ....
Fw 190 V 19 (W. Nr. 0041). The plane was tested as a prototype Fw 190 C DB 603 with an engine and wing area of 18.3 m2. After replacing the engine on Jumo 21 ZA (№ 1001570009) aircraft was used to test the engine in flight. February 16, 1944 aircraft received heavy damage during the abortive landing. Protocol flight on March 24, 1944 reported problems with the hydraulics, which resulted in a retractable landing gear too slowly and not recorded in the position to remove. During the repairs on aircraft installed a new engine Jumo 213 with the modified ignition sequence (№ 1001520160) with a screw VS 9 and wing leading edge to direct the movement forward by 115 mm. The wing is moved forward to compensate for the shift centre of gravity caused by the longer engine and an additional segment in the rear fuselage.
