If you calculate the scale of the 90mm Freewing F-104 using the wingspan, you’ll get 1/9th scale, but if you use the fuselage length, you’ll get 1/11th scale. However, the length might have been measured differently for the model or the real thing..
It only really works if model is built in per portion to real plane. Often flying models have altered dimensions to allow improved flying characteristics, especially the size of the wing.
True, I should have said that but Bob is correct. Most warbirds have exagerated vertical stabs as a full real scale would produce a harder model to fly
@@MotionRC Yes, I know about Reynolds numbers and what happens when you scale an airplane down and fly it in air that hasn’t also been scaled down. I’ve only been flying R/C for 58 years.. ;-)

I like how the wings of the thinderchief touch with the fuselage, it makes it look somehow like the F-35 but lighter
Thanks so much James. That makes it easy to understand. This is why motion rc is my go to source for my airplanes and information.
Glad to help Doug and thanks for being a member
Making it into a 90mm would be sweet for the F-105!
It would be a sweet model, but I wonder if it'd scare pilots off like the F-104 seems to do
Thank's James informative as always 😉👍
Thanks for the video James!
No worries! Thanks for commenting Perry
Siam it know that, now I do. Great tip James 👍🏻
Glad to help
Sure would be awesome to get that Thunder chief in a 90mm

👍
first
great video
Just stay and fly them out where is it ok and respect the privaci
