RE: Main Difference In Flying Giant Scale
Good suggestions so far! I always told new giant scale guys that their plane will always be going faster and be farther away than they think it is. For many people, speed seems to be hard to judge when going to larger planes.
A good comparison from full scale is watching a large airliner such as a 747 on landing approach compared to something like a small Cessna. The large plane looks like it is going very slowly ..... looks like it could fall out of the sky at any second because it is moving so slowly. But it is moving well over 150 MPH on approach and over 120 when it touches down. Similarly the smaller Cessna is actually traveling much slower than the airliner yet appears to be moving faster. In fact, in some cases the small plane could be moving half the speed of the larger plane but still appear to be moving faster. Its just an illusion due to the vast difference in size between the planes.
