Casey, you're right the cat's out and there is no turn back ! It's interesting to get views and ideas....

Dash, yes the gear mounting is an issue on the 190. Having built 3 helps figuring out the weak points. The built up wing will be easier to build and re-enforcing the spar and ribs connecting the gear plate will solve the problem. I also built the Holman fw190 in the past with a foam wing and works well if reinforcing the gear plate with 2 semi ribs connected to a ply 1/8" semi-spar.

Dan, 30lbs is not unrealistic, specially if built up. My heavy glass fuse Fw190 weighs 23lbs with 83" built up wing
My DhHornet weighs 36lbs but and 100" span but 5lbs are lead on the nose. The Ta152 will not need any lead in the nose.
I think I will have both options, 2 piece foam and 3 piece balsa and ply with a alu tube.
