Default RE: When is scale no longer scale?

I would submit that full size planes are more that 1% different when built side by side on the same assembly line. That's a danged close tolerance for what was mainly hand work. If you talk to people who restore these aircraft they will tell you there are lots of differences between the same plane, same series. It's just the way it is. I agree with Pittsdriver. Besides you can't begin to scale the Mass of a plane, just something to consider
