How is a large plane easier to repair than a plane with a few less inches of wingspan and length?Do you have anyway to support that claim? I have seen 10-15 sized planes take tumbles and cartwheels with almost no to very little damage. I have crashed everything from .049 QTees to quarter scale cubs and the big planes always had more damage from the extra mass.

All planes will eventually crash if flown long enough. More important than repairability is a good instructer and meaningful practice to minimize mistakes. That and a reliable radio.</p>
