I hope they sourced informations concerning the landing gear and electrical problems discovered on FW aircrafts , from "La Diva" (didier rohmer) who built the FW190 for Christophe jacquard in Dijon France ...

I haven't heard about any specific problems with Flug Werk FWs. Care to elaborate please?
The more you copy any original design the more you copy very poor wartime construction standards, materials selection and build quality. They might be new airplanes but the technology is entirely outdated. During the war in germany nobody cared about stuck gears, brakes or planes that killed their pilots.
