I just worked out what my DerJet 1/6 scale Hawker Hunter wing loading is.

Based on a full-scale Hunter wing area of 349ft^2, that gives me a model wing area of 9.69ft^2. My Hunter is ~43lb at take off with full fuel, so that gives a wing loading of 71 oz/ ft^2.

It flies like a dream - it is my go-to everyday flier. I prefer flying it over my Ultra Flash.

Just don't fly it like a foamy and expect it to do what you ask!
