1:72 is the larger scale. In the model every dimension should be 1/72 of the original. 1:1 is full size. Therefore small the second number larger the model.

Think of it like this: Which is the bigger portion? 1 fourth OR 1 twentyeth. Obviously the smaller the second number the less "parts" therefore 1:72 is the larger scale model.

the smaller the second number the bigger the model thus the 1/72 is the bigger kit. The 1 stands for 1" of the model the 72 stands for 72"s of the real thing. I hope this cleared that up for you.

You might take a look at Ken Rand's KR-1 (single seat) and KR-2 (2 seat) kit planes. (both initially using VW engines and capable of 200 mph and full arobatics.) They aren't any larger than some of the big RC aircraft and are built in a similar manner. As for jet powered, the BD-5J was a tiny (single seat) 300 mph jet. (It was even used in a James Bond film.) How about the Cricket (Cri-Cri) twin chain saw engined single seat and the Q-1 Quickie canard type single seat powered by an 18-22 hp Onan motor normally used in an Onan RV generator set. You might take a look at the Ultralight aircraft. Many were scaled up from RC models, or scaled down to become RC models.
