Thanks, Wojcigitty... I knew there was no formula for full-size crafts, due to the set perameters of certified planes, and reasoning allows the solution you have given. The modified craft mentioned is a Sr Telecaster... was a 3 channel... has way too much dihedral at this time on its 81" wings... I will dismantle the wings, remake the ribs and spars and build a 2% set of wings. The barn door style ailerons will take up 15% of the suface area, so that it will perform as a full-sized version... low and slow. I am not into aerobatics at all. My planes are all for leizure flight. Mixing the rudder in will help, thanks.
