Now that you mention it, I just heard a story of a group of R/C flyers
that had modelled a scale model of an F-16. They encountered a problem

Really? Are you saying the F-16 can really approach that slowly? I'm

Really? Are you saying the F-16 can really approach that slowly? I'm
not a pilot, but with FGFS, an 100kt approach in a 747 or A4 or TSR.
