Yes, I believe the smaller scale craft have much less mass and therefore are more sensitive to wind and motor torque all else being the same. Extra weight has a stabilizing effect to the craft. On a flight sim, the aircraft physics are based upon the weight of a full-size plane and chopper. How those tiny little doves fly so elegantly and how those tiny little hummingbirds hover almost still is beyond me.
