I know nothing!
"Scale Speed" That means screaming by at hundreds of miles of an hour, right? Just kidding. That beautiful warbird, dropping low from the side of the field, sailing across in a majestic, slow and low pass?I said it!!!! Warbirds look great when flown at a scale speed.
I did that with my maiden, and it was truly glorious. I am not lying when I say that the run from right to left on my maiden video was one of the highlights of my entire RC flying experience. It was spectacular to me, and very scale, I think. It looked good!
Butttt... I DO want to see that same maneuver, stupid fast! That run may have been to scale, but scale it up and do it really, really fast, and now I'm closer to experiencing it. What it would have been like flying a Spitfire, just off the ground, at breakneck speeds. Seat of the pants. Tree top height. Things happening so fast, you have to react before they happen, you've got to see it coming, or you WILL crash.
I've just an open field and a foam board RC airplane. I'm not ready for what I just wrote. I AM working towards it, though!
