This might get a little long. Robin Lehman and I went to Germany in 1998 to attend but not compete in the DMFV Akrocup. Pretty much we were awed by what was going on there, 40% scale acro sailplanes competing in a very well organized format which gave little ground to what IMACC was doing

Hi Stan, I did some work on a scale ship (5M), and I settled on a solid carbon rod from CSTSales(.com) around .75 inches (sleeved in alum to protect from dings). If you want to do some aerobatics, this is as small as I'd consider. I made my joiner tube from 3 pieces of brass tubing, 1 that went

Another minor point is that the model flys in the same air as the full scale plane. However, RE#'s are not a linear quantity. Thus, the model will usually be subjected to aerodynamic penalties which the full scale is not. (this is the main reason for the saying bigger flys better less penalties)

What are the tolerances for calling something scale? As much as it would be nice to have a reasonable standard for this, or 'tolerances' as you say, I'm pretty sure the real answer is that there is none. It's more of a what-can-we-get-away-with while-making-the-various-compromises kind of

Mike, There is a great deal of difference between scale and competition style thermal models. If you study the 2 types you will soon see that there is a big difference in proportions. Where the spans are similar you will notice that the aspect ratio is almost double on the scale ship. With the
