The Jemco FW 190 that I had as a kid and a few years ago flew great, but it would drop fast without tip stalling when the throttle was chopped to idle; drop really fast. It is easy to catch by applying some throttle and then chopping it a few feet above the ground and then flair. I think that the plane will have to be landed at high speed if it does fly with a flat leading edge. It looks like film covering is used on the wing. It would only take about three hours to pull the film, sand the leading edges round, taper the tips on the wing panels, and apply new covering. It is a cheap investment after putting so much work into the plane.
