ORIGINAL: flycatch
I went to the Meister web site and found out the wing loading for the 102'' WS P-47 version is between 46.5-55 oz/sq ft. They do not list the specifications for the smaller version however IMO I would bet it is in the low forties. This being the case the smaller version would not fly as well as the larger version due to its high wing loading.
This is a matter of pure opinion. What you consider as flying well and what I consider as flying well could be light years apart. The fact is both lightly loaded and heavily loaded aircraft have advantages and disadvantages and many things have to be factored into the equation including the particular pilot's skill set. My .02 cents anyway.
