As a humorous side...my statement about fighters still stands...because the only people who call the A-10 a fighter are other A-10 pilots...lol. It's a long story and funny too...

OK Boli.....now we're getting personal. Anything with a 7 barrel, 30mm cannon and single seat cockpit is a fighter. Trust me.
And look how sleek the A-10 is compared to this Dutch F-5:

PS: Erick is exactly correct about engine failures in full size jets and the inaccurate comparison to models. Most of our r/c jets are so grossly overpowered in comparison to their full scale counterparts that controllability issues are inevitable.
