Default RE: Can someone explain scale C/L?

Also forgot to mention...

Brodak is the only one I know that offers a kit identified as a CL scale kit. But you can take any RC plans or RC kit and convert it for CL scale. All of my airplanes were advertised as RC scale models, but they are all flown as CL models. I try to keep all of my CL scale models 70" span or smaller, I have a flown a 1/4 scale model for CL scale but that beast weighed 19 lbs. The rules allow you to go up to 20 lbs, but they get hard to handle above 12 lbs and 70" span for my taste...good luck

Also consider getting and ARF for a pratice plane to learn the throttle system and everything else....

let me know if you need the details to convert a RC kit over to CL...
