As I said in an earlier posts, there are model fliers who form a cult religion about the misuse of rudder and there is nothing in this universe that can show them otherwise.
Harry, the main difference is wing loading. At what point a model becomes full scale? you and I know there is no such point. This just shows that you are stuck on absolutes, black and white if you will. You also know that this question has no real defining answer.As far as the cult thing, aren't you and Top Gunn guilty of this on the opposite side of the fence? I have offered explanation of the fact that you two have no experience flying a certain type of R/C model. I suppose given the opportunity you would tell Jeff Gordon that he is driving his car incorrectly because something he did goes against what you were taught. Go fly an airplane without control cross coupling and then you might understand my perspective.
