RE: Definition of a warplane
Some club events call for the rule monoplane 80 inches and biplane 60 inches wingspan. The author forgot “or true ¼ scale”, if the monoplane was 26.6 feet or less then 20 feet on biplanes.
No, the definition is just wrong. The aircraft has not to be a “military type” because this would cut out all trainers, transporters and flying gas stations.
I would say a War-Plane is an aircraft with military paint and markings. A scale war-plane is a scaled down from a full size, at least 1 time build and flown military aircraft.
Happy landings

RE: Definition of a warplane
I have to say no as well. I have seen some warbirds that are only 60 to 65 inch wing that are world class models. The rules that you have found might be what apply to the organization that has posted them, not the broader definition of Warbirds.
