I think a larger scale A-7 would fly just fine, particularly equipped with one of the current generation 3 axis gyros.

I think you're spot-on here, Craig. Let's face it, a lot of the internal systems we haul around weigh the same/are the same, regardless of the size of the plane they are in; so the larger the jet, the less of an overall percentage of weight they comprise, and thus a better wing-loading and flying quality results. As you state, the smaller jets have a proportionally higher wing loading, and therefore may not handle very well.
