WAR Aircraft replicas international information

[holtzy822]

A scale airplane might have poor handling because of the " scale effect".
Probably not something for low time pilot. Combine with excess weight as Victor Bravo mentioned and that should help explain the small numbers, I think.

hmm ok, the information from the owner and designer of the aircraft says the airfoil and other things that effect handling have been changed to even let the aircraft fly, like a 2 degree twist in the wings for the FW190 and diffrent airfoils. lots of VERY small things that only a trained eye can catch

There was a very brief thread on this same topic on our old forums at Oshkosh365 - only two replies, but maybe you'll find something useful there:

The real B-17 going around as "Memphis Belle" is one that sort of bugs me as to details, the nose art name , it is done in cursive script rather than the true original "block" stlye she really wore during WW2 , my 2 cents worth.....................................
