Anybody know the wing loading on this? I couldn't find area on MotionRC website. I see the weight 4.3kg, which I think is without batteries. But I don't see area anywhere, and couldn't find it after a brief search of this thread. I wondered how it compares to the A-10, and a few other models.

Taking the 'xy' projected area of the entire thing minus the horizontal stabs should give a fine approximation to calculate wing loading.
And you can easily measure that on your own aircraft by decomposing the airframe into a few triangles and rectangles, then adding up the areas. ;)

SanExup and I were PMing, and I showed him the use of ramekin cups and miniature bungee cords + RTV Silicon Rubber to chock/secure planes in the truck bed for those of you who have trucks. Worth showing this again, even if I have previously posted this idea. You need to use the bungees to secure against bounce-outs and tip-ups during acceleration or rough road travel. See Zoom in...
Should you need to carry some cargo...twist off the ramekin cups and re-glue them once you are done. WalMart houseware department is where I got the remekin cups. The various cup placements are for other birds.
Happy New Year!

Great job, Brent!
I've uploaded some files for those who want to replicate the forward fuselage vents/louvres with 3DP parts.

Very impressive paintwork and scheme. Seems ironic that the Deutsche flew Russian planes, but they were East Germans before the Wall came down, after which the MiGs were cycled out of the Luftwaffe for many reasons. The historic roots of many Russian jets came from captured Nazi aviation engineers....Very Cool man...
I’m working on the standard Luftwaffe scheme...

Gringotuerto You could combine it with the toilet, for morning coffee. And repurpose the ejection handles.
