About these Radio Controlled models. Modellers should made accurate representation of the crafts? Not the shape of the model but the actual power to weight ratio? All videos I've seen the models are flown like their engine are way over powered to the weight of the actual craft and they fly or turn a bit weirdly.
Aren't there are modellers who actually take this into account as well?
In the case of the Shinden it's power to weight ratio was 317,8 W/Kg or 0,426hp/kg. (with loaded weight of rounded 5ton)
I don't know how heavy these models were but for an example of a 1:50th scale (weight wise) the engine power should be 31,78KW or 42,6hp (100kg plane).

Sure, we'll do that .... the moment the fluid we 'fly' through has it's atoms sized to the same scale as the model.

Mr. Reynolds, call you office.

The world of radio control aircraft is a severe one.
I think this model can fly the severe condition wonderfully.
Aerodynamic characteristics seems to be excellent.
