Intro:
I really like Large Scale aircraft, but most RF aircraft available are not giant scale.
My goal is 11+ ft. wingspan warbirds and such.
Real life ??? Yes … but mostly in Germany where 20Ft wingspan B-25 with twin Moki 400 Radial engines exist. The 400 Moki may be the best sounding RC prop engine on the market.
My Dilemma:
Most aircraft available to me from RF are much smaller … so I need to enlarge.
Some Problems.
1.) Scaled Up, the models do not fly correctly. Slow and float too much … I can get around that with editing. Although it now fly's as I have dictated.
2.) Perceived Speed is off … this one I need help.
I increase the speed of the model to make it "look right" a 80 MPH model may need to fly at 100+ MPH to look "right"
The other way I have found that increases the perception is to increase the 'Graphics Speed' in RF to ~125 to 150 … depending on the size increase of the model.
I have chosen to increase the flight speed of the model. My thinking is, that "IF" I posted any model here, most people would not want to change the Graphics Speed back and forth, or would not be aware even if I posted instructions.
Any comments/interest ???
3.) Is there a comprehensive manual on editing
Or are we on our own by experimenting and reading post on forum's ??? Many are very informative, but they are scattered about relating to specific subjects.
I have read the "RF Manual", but it does not go into much detail.
4.) Anyone have a great Moki 400 sound file?
5.) Is there anyone but myself that wishes there was an "IF - Then - Else" editing function … or that the "Multi-Mix" function did more than addition? (Perhaps like the Mixer Function)
All for NOW !
