I used the wingspan of the 40 size Zero and not the Rufe. The Rufe has a 1490 span. By comparing 40 zero to 60 zero I should be OK I believe.
This where I get confused, how can the have the same scale and wing span when one should be a bigger span than the other, if the Rufe and the 40 size are truly both 1/8 scale, the Rufe should have about a 9% larger span

The way I've figured doing it is to add 9% to the a6m5 60 size wing span, then do the math compared to the Rufe, try that and compare realitive to the three views and see what you get
