Three problems exist for the heavy plane. First, the heavy plane lands fast. This is due to high wing loading, which effects the glide ratio tremendously. Second, because your glide ratio is reduced, landing under dead-stick conditions takes enormous skill, sort of like landing the space shuttle. Last, your choice in power plants is greatly reduced, subsequently reducing the overall flight performance that could be had out of the plane. Heavy military fighters are fine and I enjoy them very much. I like the challenge of flying them off the pavement and back down. For pattern or acrobatics, heavy plane are dissapointing to say the least.
