Large Scale Aircraft?

I did a search for "large scale" and "giant scale" aircraft and came up with nothing. I was searching for just that, larger scale aircraft to fly. I had a couple aircraft that were larger scale in RF4 but do not have that version anymore. Does anyone know of an easy was to find these or is there a list someplace here that I may be missing in the Swap pages? Thanks in advance for any help. I appreciate it very much.
 
What size?

Most standard Giant size RC aircraft are already modeled...

Remember that later versions can use earlier version aircraft....


Realflight 6.x has a simple to use tool that permits you to scale aircraft up or down.

You can do this manually with G5 and below.

You're advised to purchase the upgrade.
 
Sorry, i should have made my question more clear. Most of the models I fly are of the same size (not sure what scale that would be). Even the models I have dl'ed from the swap pages are consistently very similar in size to the stock size found with the original G5 version. I have G5.5 with all the expansion packs (except 8) and add-on's. Almost every model is the very similar in size. I was looking for the models that are 3 to 5 or more times larger than those. I hope this makes my question more clear. Thanks again for any assistance.
 
fyi, I have tried to resize the model with the Edit feature. I am by no means a model aircraft designer or maker. When I did manage to increase the size of the model it lost all of its original flying ablility. Thanks for the advice on the G6, I didnt know that you could change the size in that version without making other manual changes to keep the original flying ability of the model.

Please define that.

An easy way to convey the scale is by telling us the wingspan of your real world models and the engine size.

Sorry that's not true at all.

Models on the swaps vary from TINY foam planes all the way up to huge 50% size planes.

Try a search on the word "50%" and you'll see.

Beyond that, this is an RC simulator and people who try to scale things up to 100% end up creating highly unrealistic planes.

We don't fly 100% or even 75% planes with RC radios...

Again not true... the Expansion packs and add-ons vary EXTENSIVELY in plane sizes.

I was looking for the models that are 3 to 5 or more times larger than those.

A typical 1.20-1.60 size plane is 25% scale.

Three to five times that is 75% ( not RC sized ) and 150% ( DEFINITATLY NOT RC! ) respectively.

In real world RC aircraft 50% is the extreme upper end.

From Micro to 25% size is what the majority of people fly.

25% to 30% is flown by those with larger club fields and who can afford $1,000.00-$2000.00 USD planes.

33% - 40% is flown by those who don't worry about spending 4K and up on an RC plane...

Most jets are in the 30-35% range.


I hope this makes my question more clear. Thanks again for any assistance.


Not so far...
 
I had no idea this would be so difficult. Thanks for your assistance, I do appreciate it.

No one said it was difficult!?

You just haven't stated what you are looking for in any understandable manner.

Large scale planes already exist in the sim.

It appears you are asking for something that may be highly unrealistic... but I still can't fathom your intent.

All you have to do is answer the questions I posed to you above...
 
For what it's worth, if anyone else is looking for this answer. I may have a better way to explain if n5 is thinking like me. I want to know what the biggest plane in RealFlight is too. That means if I were to pick a Realflight airfield and put every plane on the field, which one would occupy the most physical space in the simulator. Which one is represented or displayed, physically, as the largest. Example: the FW-200 Kondor or B-25 Mitchell are displayed in the simulator as physically larger planes than a UMX is. So, of all the planes, which one is represented as the largest in the sim?
