So if i rearrenge re number an continue with scaled geometry it is ok. I am trying to solve for a small aircraft. But geometry is too big for pc. Always stops, program freezes etc.

To re-iterate what FMDenaro wrote: scaling the geometry does not achieve anything with regards to computational cost.
If you decreased the geometric size of your model by a factor of 10, you would need to e.g. decrease viscosity by a factor of 10 in order to have the same Reynolds Number. Otherwise, you would change physics, and get absolutely useless results in regards to your original case.
That in turn means your cell size would also have to decrease by a factor of 10 in order to achieve the same resolution.
You can scale the geometric size all you want, it does nothing to reduce computational cost.
