I didn't know that the Kingcat fell under ''giant scale''. I guess it was considered to be pretty big in the early years.

What is Large or Giant Scale?
The concept of large or giant scale is generally considered to apply to radio controlled model aircraft with minimum wingspans of eighty (80) inches for monoplanes and sixty (60) inches for multi-wing aircraft. Ducted Fan and Turbine aircraft with one hundred forty (140) inches combined length and width, measured from wing tip to wing tip at the widest point perpendicular to the fuselage and added to the length of the fuselage, excluding any protrusions.
So, with an 80" wingspan and 94" length (per BVM's spec's), the Kingcat easily classes as giant scale.
