It may fly very scale but more likely it will need to be flown fast and have a very small speed range between stall and max.
What? The Tiger 120? It flys just as slow as you can imagine a Tiger 120 with that type of wing loading. It pretty much floats in. Very doscile. It's not a scale plane. It's just a large Goldberg Tiger. I've NEVER been able to stall it, and I can say that I've tried. Those two pounds just don't matter with that plane.

I think he was referring to the Sopwith, but you're right, not all heavy planes need a ton of speed to fly. I have a .60 size Eindecker with an old Magnum 60 4-stroke. Even with an extra 14 oz. in the nose, it still flys great at around half throttle
