Default RE: 2X4 GASSER SPAD

Or the limit my wife puts on my wallet! LOL. Did some more calculations last night on power loading. Rough calculations on when this beast will stall is around 15 MPH but I believe that is high due to it doesn't take into account power loading. (engine power/thrust vs. weight) Basically what I have, is a heavy .60 size plane with a heavy 1.30 on it. Hell, the full scale T-38 has a wing loading of 70 lbs per sq ft and it used to hold the climb to altitude record. Power loading(after burning turbo jets) made all that possible. It certainly won't be an aerobatic performer but will fly very scale which is really what I prefer anyway. Looks like it might be nice today!
