I am looking for a opinions and thoughts on a therory of mine in regards to airplane reaction to a given control imput.
What I mean to ask is this. If you have a 40 size airplane and the exact same in a 1.50 size, will the 1.50 be as "snappy" as the 40 ?
My therory and parrallel is, a 10 wheel dump truck is not going to act and respond the same as corvette. The 1.50 being the dump truck.
Am I off the wall here ?

G'day Mate,
I'm not sure what you mean by "snappy", if you mean as touchy or tip stally as a 40 size plane, then the larger plane will still tip stall, but will do it slower, in fact most things will happen slightly slower, but the bigger planes are better to fly IMHO, less effected by wind, just to name one good point.

too many variabes here to consider...servo strength and speed...engine size versus prop pitch vs length..etc etc not to mention the fact that 2 airplanes will not fly the same.

All planes can be made "snappy" recardless of size. I would believe a word like "squirrely" (if there is such a word) would be more along the lines you're thinking.
And the answer in no, you're not of the wall. The bigger the plane the less they suffer and the smoother they fly.
