As a full scale pilot, I can assure anyone wondering, that bigger flies "different" beyond any doubt! "Better" has too many variables involved. What YOU consider better may be something others might disagree with.

I really just wanted to add though, that smaller stuff can feel MUCH bigger when equipped with a decent stabilizer that's set up correctly. IMHO, that's one of the better reasons to do that (add the extra weight and complexity). Planes that are all over the place in the lightest cross wind can be MUCH more docile/solid feeling (like a bigger plane) on landings for instance , making their pilots look much better than they really are. Too, they can sometimes allow flying in conditions that leave others on the bench. If nothing else, they can give a pilot the extra degree of confidence that will allow him to at least give it a try. -Al
