Product Description
- Avia continued to produce the Bf 109G after the war under the designation Avia S-99, but after a warehouse fire destroyed many of the DB605s, it was decided to use the Jumo 211 and propellers used on the He 111 instead.
- The combination of these parts gave the S-199 very poor flight characteristics.
- The Jumo 211 was heavier and less responsive than the DB605, and the counter torque generated by its wide, paddle-blade propellers made it extremely difficult to control.
This, combined with the Bf 109's unique landing gear's narrow wheel spacing, made takeoff and landing extremely dangerous.
- A total of about 550 S-199s were built, some of which were converted to trainer versions CS-199 (armed) and C-210 (unarmamented).
- The first flight was in March 1947, and production ended in 1949.
- There are two types of decals for the Czech army.
