Default RE: When is scale no longer scale?

In many aircraft with retracts you must vary the wing to house the retract
unit. While 3/8" bolts were good for real gear, .050 bolts would not do for a 1/8 scale plane. As far as WWII airfoils go we fly 100 to 120 MPH while are real airplanes were 400+ MPH.
