RE: Fliteskin Ta-152 H1
Dubs, 48 lbs for a 100" airplane is too heavy even though anything will fly with enough power. WIng loading makes a difference in the handling, also the heavier the more damage when they crash land! The landing gear and the mounting ribs, etc will have to support 3 times the weight of the airplane in a hard landing, so do the numbers.
I'm shooting for 30lbs. and will be about that.
Ramstein, most people seem to want a 3 piece wing. I prefer 2 piece, with one wing tube or a ply plug (Meister style) because it saves weight. I think most people prefer 3 piece wing so they can keep the center section attached to the fuse while transporting. If you have to remove the wing from the fuse, then 3 piece wing is not worth the trouble.
I'm not sure which airfoil D. Anderson used, so don't know if it will fit the glass fuse.
