Scale - Archive

Scale presents a different scope to RC soaring which is reproducing the characteristics of full size sailplanes in scale versions. The discipline of scale includes reproducing full size aerodynamic principals to scale representations, scale detail for visual representation and then finally scale flight characteristics and piloting.

Many of the scale events are aerotow based and display the process of aerotow with a scale tow plane, just like the full size. Scale slope events tend to be a little more relaxed as the focus is on seeing scale sailplanes closer up which is the vantage that is provided from the slope.
