quick question.

I have been thinking about this for sometime. What makes a RC Plane a "Giant" ? The wing size, the weight, what? Thanks

The % of scale it is.

Typically anything 1/4 scale or larger (or meets IMAA standard) is considered Giant Scale.

The Imaa regs larger than 25%scale or 80in span for nonscale mono planes and 60in for biplanes if i remember correctly.
