The physics/scaling on the thing are horrendous. I know some of my early AV's weren't the greatest but geebus
It's typical for someone who is inexperienced in the way the editor works and does not know how a real world model would fly. Realflight doesn't do a great job of modeling giant aircraft. I found this out first hand when I scaled up some of the WWI fighters to 1/2 scale. Luckily I had a guy who actually flies these real world models with me in a multiplayer session and could tell me what the feel should be like and he could test it right away. They came out pretty spot on, and flew like a real model would.
One thing to note that weight on a 50% scale aircraft is not 50% weight. A average model isn't more than 50lbs.

I find that even with the formula to scale weight, I often have to find a sort of sweet spot when making half scale aircraft because at the scaled weight, the stall speed is often too high to be scale and you need to balance scale weight and stall speed to find the best flying 1/2 scale aircraft.
Square (area) Vs. Cube (mass)
If A Square block: 1"x 1"x 1" = 1 oz.
Twice that size...: 2"x 2" x 2" = 8 oz.
I understand that this might be annoying but I include this prior knowledge for the average person (someone who doesn't know one thing about this helicopter). Thanks for the constructive criticism.YEP. That was a little annoying , A link to it, would have been the better choice / option.

I agree this is why the Lynx flies like trash.Oh yeah, scaling up isn't easy as I've found out over time. Heli's are especially difficult. There are so many things you have to adjust or create like large blades. I have Goblin Speed 1000 heli I'm still tweaking right. Just getting the tail wag/jitter out of it has been a PIA.
Rory is a smokepot! I've been meaning to say that on an official thread for Ryan to see... Oh well, guess you beat me to it.Sorry guys, its all my fault...
Those long descriptions and multiple swap page posts are from our Friend of Several Aliases (F.S.A, or "full size ayehole"?) Rorey the Smokepot....He doesnt dare try to penetrate my non-password fields anymore, and my kids miss abusing him...
Had my fields up all over the Chistmas vaca, but he never showed
Even trimmed a Sopwith to fly lazy circles, went for +18 hours with unlimited fuel, and he's too afraid to come in anymore...
So now he goes Gonzo on swap as soon as I post something to knock it off the front page.......Oh well, loser freak keeps me entertained one way or another!
Got a couple Nigerian Scammers I'm trolling as well...Dance you freak, DANCE FOR ME SOME MORE!!
