What are the differances in the scale size classes? Like I mean what is Large scale verses Giant scale? What is considered 'regular' scale?
Is one any easier or harder to fly that the other? Or just more expensive if it is wrecked...do Electrics come in these size scale planes??
Giant scale models are normally considered 1/4 scale or larger. There is a wingspan requirement for IMAA as well. For instance a 1/5th scale biplane with a 72" wingspan is considered Giant Scale or IMAA legal, even though it is smaller than quarter scale. Giant scale also can be when you own a model that is too large to fit in your car
.
It can be confusing, so just get your hands on the rule book for the event that is put on by that group. If you don't want to enter competition, but just want a big old plane, then get something in the quarter scale size or larger.
