   In DBW the A8 and A9 are using the same thin propeler, is possible transfer a D9 propeller to A9?

[max_thehitman]

Will this make it faster?
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him....We have the technology. We have the capability to make the
world's first bionic FW-190.
The A-9 will be that bionic Focke-Wulf.
Better than he was before.
Better...stronger...faster

  Too litle detail for you? Yes, a propeller is important, read about P-47 propeller...
   
  But FM is not what i am requesting, just a 3D fix, is too hard to do?

Use Claymore's 190 pack. Then you'll have the A-9 with the wooden paddle-bladed prop.

This would have to be an option if it should be historically correct I'm afraid.
Quote from Neil Page, "Focke Wulf 190: Part One-the Fw 190A-series fighter variants." Scale Aircraft Modelling, Vol. 24, No. 9, November 2002:
"Three types of propeller were authorised for use on the A-9: the VDM 9-112176A wooden propeller, 3.5 m (11 ft 6 in) in diameter, was the preferred option, however, many A-9s were fitted with the standard VDM 9-12067A metal propeller and some had a VDM 9-12153A metal propeller with external, bolt on balance weights."

From my understanding, the metal prop was the norm, but due to materials shortages, the broader chord wooden prop was also used. The D-9 at WPAFB has the wooden prop... I guess it would depend on when and where the particular aircraft was produced, so could have either I would guess. I've seen a several of the surviving A/C, and have pictures of many but none with the bolt on external weights.
