I have flown a few A-10's and they don't seem to suffer with the weight even with big heavy turbines and lots of nose weight.
I'm going to have full stores, so lots of drag too!

Thanks Dave for reply. Are you doing a build thread or posting pics of it? It would be nice to see a updated build of one.
