re allanyed. I have been thinking and studying a lot about the workings of rigging and I'm realizing that the scale will play huge part of the mechanisms actually being able to work. I'm not so worried about the hull persay wood working is fun and I can make a working hull just maybe not so detailed. I really want to share a revelation I had talking with an rc hobbyist I met at a job. He told me that the problem with the working lines will be resistance and said make it bigger, and adding weights to the load and reducing resistance in the sheaves will make the lines will flow through the blocks much better. That's going to be the problem with the mechanical advantage in a model. By the time all the parts of line work through the block, there will be no line pull strength between the sheaves and the lines will go slack and get wrapped up in other parts before the load moves if it moves at all. I also learned a lot about radio controlled devices. I admit I don't know much about scales and can hardly call myself a modeler, so I pose a question to real modelers. Is it important to be within the constraints of a certain scale? the reason being, I believe I'm going to start fresh with a new scale if I have any hope of making the rigging work similar to how it was supposed to in real life. If the ship is 126 feet long what scale could I use to get to around 4.5 feet
