My Real Flight 4 Models

1.   Full Scale Real Flight Sports and Aerobatics Planes

2.   The Requirements

It is perfectly OK to scale the 3d mesh but it is It is very important to do the physical geometry and the physics from the grounds. The physics scaling parameter should remain 1. It is important to find out and correctly specify real plane geometry, weight, propeller geometry, motor thrust, rpm and horse power. The weight must be properly distributed to give correct angular inertia.

3.   Full Scale Planes for Real Flight.

Fuel tank capacity limits in RF are not adequate and the weight is only 500g. Hence a mass component can be added.

Engines are a problem due to lack of adequate thrust range. The engine mod parameter can be scaled up 400% which with engine thrust curve maxed at optimum rps gives up to 4000-5000N of thrust; increasing that requires multiple engines. For Sports/acrobatic planes with 200-400 hp engines I use 2 RF engines to get up to 8000N or a bit more of thrust. One of the engines should be set as silent otherwise audible "beats" will be heard.

Full Scale Variant of RF Yak54 by Dmitrynizh, 2012. I've tried to be as accurate as possible with this variant's physics and airplane tech specs. Two RF engines (included in the RFX) are used to simulate the stock Vedeneyev M14P with its 360hp, providing up to 8000-8400N. The real life 3-blade VP prop is modeled as fixed fixed pitch 185x130 2-blade wood prop on each such engine.

Competition/Stunt/3D version. This differs from the base version by reduced weight (800kg) and prop and engine :mods: allowing to do hovering and torque rolls. It is like the Yak is made lighter and is using a highly tweaked version of M14P. The control throws are also maxed out on the full throws; the snaproll factors are a bit increased. This version is just a bit too agile for the real yak54 but fun. It flies very aggressively, similarly to SU31 or even to Slick. From the description:

The 100% Competition version differs from my basic full scale version by the motor tuned to deliver above 400hp, CG sligtly aft and all controls maxed out.

Performance/3D version. The color scheme is this. The plane feel very agile yet definitely it is not a floater in comparison to the Yak (Yak54 has much floater wing loading).
