some people are not PILOTS just model air plane drivers. The bigger the facility the worse most of the guys seem to be.
A lot depends on how and what U fly ... My 87" 6 HP P-47 requires a lot more than my 46 U-Can-Do With any head wind at all I can land it in it's own length. most of my flying is done on a 168 x 555 with a 75 x 1200' adjacent full scale runway and if and a 100' x 2100' N S fullscale runway. We have guys that consistently are just able to get down anywhere near the middle. Some even end up in the corn or landing behind the flight line ...
The smaller U make it the better pilot U will become. JMHO
