What is funny is the wing panels are exactly the same size on my old Quest 90 and my old Focus. The difference is the Quest are joined in the middle and the Focus has a wing tube through the fuselage. By numbers the Quest is less by the width of the Focus fuselage area. Fuselage is about 10" longer on the Focus. The fuselage volume is what is hard to scale as the drag per size of the plane goes up the smaller it gets. The Strength of materials is where bigger helps, too. The frailty can't shrink either. If you shrink the frailty, the 90 size will be so fragile you could not touch it. the 90 size plane will be heavier per volume. Still I like 90 size as a plane and I think the bottom two classes of pattern should encourage these size planes to get more people in. That comes down to the judges not having prejudices which is hard, because if they can't win it is a moot point.
The judges should not have prejudices and the performance of the maneuver is the primary point. It doesn't matter what the size or even what the plane itself is as long as it is capable of performing the geometry of the maneuver. The maneuver is what is scored, not the airplane.
