Was reading Stan Hall's article on dynamic modelling today. As in making a scaled flying model to evaluate handling. He wrote that there's a particular speed associated with a particular scale. I'm not sure I understand that. I'd have thought that if the radius of gyration for each axis was to scale, everything would fall out ok no matter what the weight was. Am I missing something?
