It IS considered a real but small aircraft passed the 20KG mark hence the LMA scheme. There is a max limit for RC aircraft. 150KG I think but I’m open to being corrected on that.
There is a large model aircraft approval scheme set out by the CAA and operated by the LMA for any model over 20KG. The design and construction of the model has to be reviewed and approved. On completion the model must be flown safely 6 times for 10 minutes to prove the model is airworthy and the pilot is able to fly it competently. Only that named pilot on the certification can then fly it at public shows.
The B-2 Spirit flew in from Whiteman Air Force Base to make two passes down the runway at RAF Fairford. An awesome sight as it was escorted by two F-15s.
