| Wasn't the Shackleton (and probably many other aircraft) described as
"a hundred thousand rivets flying in close formation"
What are the flying characteristics of scale aircraft in comparison to the real life counterpart, do design faults manifest themselves in the scale replicas or does pyhsics and power to weight ratio negate those?
I was reading a pilots account of the shack who said the shackleton was happiest when it was on the ground, whereas the lancester wanted to fly and infact trying to get it to land was a problem as it just wanted to float rather than touch the ground.
I'm not making any derogatory remarks about the shack tho - fantastic looking aircraft and an excellent subject for a model!
