Could one say, that a scale model built to the same geometry as the full scale subject will demonstrate the same flight charactoristics ? And the other adjustments are to lighten the pilot's work load and make up for the inability to " feel " the plane in flight?

And not only is it impossible to match the wing loading and power loading, but the Reynolds effect messes up things about the individual parts that the whole geometry isn't in sync either.

Too many differences.
