Default RE: When is scale no longer scale?

Considering that "Scale" is judged from 15 feet I would doubt that any one could tell if the deminsions were correct or not. ALL.. let me repeat ALL scale judging is SUBJECTIVE; given that the judges do not use blueprint drawings and calipers etc. of our plane. Convincing the judge that YOUR PLANE is an accurate reproductive effort of your documentation is your GOAL. How WELL you convince them to that end is how well you are rewarded. Its that simple. As for Scale Flight. it is once again an attempt to Convince the judges that YOUR PLANE is flying as if it were the "Real Thing". Thats easier to do with some types of planes than others. Scale flight isnt only limited to the actual physics of a body in motion in a fluid (air) but also the manuver types and their execution etc. SEEING IS BELIEVING...for the Judges. You Convince them they have seen the "real thing" and your Rewarded! That simple..BobH.
