Rules for building scale model that flies like full-size plane?

[Giggi]

I recall reading a thread here some time ago in which someone detailed a procedure for designing a 1/3 scale rc plane to give it "degraded" flight characteristics so it performs more like a full-scale version than a typical model, despite the lower reynolds numbers. Mainly it used some calculation to determine the necessary thrust to weight ratio, wing loading, etc. relative to those numbers for the full size version...

I can't find the thread with the HBA search and googling only turns up very rough methods that don't involve any math. Anyone here know, or know where I can find more information on this procedure?
