Default RE: Four Star Scale...

ORIGINAL: lnewqban

Continuing with the RV-4 as full scale reference:

Specifications (Typical RV-4)
General characteristics
• Crew: pilot
• Capacity: 1 passenger
• Length: 20 ft 4 in (6.20 m)
• Wingspan: 23 ft (7.01 m)

Specifications Four Star 60
Wingspan: 71 in
Length: 57 in

Using wingspan: 71 in / 23 ft = 71 in / 276 in = 1/3.88 ~ 1/4 scale
Using fuse length: 57 in / 23 ft 4 in = 57 in / 244 in = 1/4.28 ~ 1/4 scale


Suggestion: When using a cartoon pilot, there is no need for exact scale.
Im hoping I dont have to use a "cartoon" figure, but more of a "scale sport pilot" figure...

but, after thinking about my color scheme (white & red with an Arkansas Razorback decal) a Porky Pig or Miss Piggy figure might suit it better! LOL

I REALLY wish I could locate a Porky Pig figure...
