Thanks for your feedback, it clarify things as you are flying all 3 models.
I really thought that the Hot with an X45 will be at the same wind loading as a bigger 2m+ plane.
I'm taking the Hot as a reference because it's a new model, with CARF building knowledge it might have an AUW pretty low ?
I thought you meant a first jet trainer as well. Just ignore my post then. But I do think bigger jets fly better. I’ve had small and Large Hawks, L39’s and Xcalibur’s and big ones always Fly better. The viper jet is a great flying jet but has a nasty habit of snapping on you on tight manoeuvres like loops etc. There’s hundreds of videos on YouTube of them doing it and crashing so be careful when flying them.
