I went to the Meister web site and found out the wing loading for the 102" WS P-47 version is between 46.5-55 oz/sq ft. They do not list the specifications for the smaller version however IMO I would bet it is in the low forties. This being the case the smaller version would not fly as well as the larger version due to its high wing loading. The larger aircraft is flown faster due to its high wing loading and appears to be flying in a more scale like profile. This is an illusion due to its shear size. Watch a full scale C-5A land. It looks like a glider making its approach but in reality its real landing speed is hidden by its shear mass. When RC pilots make the statement that they are landing with additional airspeed or hot is to say they are keeping the wing from stalling. If the overall weight of the aircraft was decreased this would not be a problem. Structual damage especially to the landing gear is normally the result of an overweght airframe. I see the time coming when the pilots are saying why did I build/purchase such a heavy airframe. Battery technology is a case in point. We went from Nicads to poloy cells all to save weight.
