Up till now I've only had a flight with my clubs trainer. Haven't a clue what it is, but I always think that big is better.
More weight ; less bouncy in gusty conditions,
Larger Wing ; More lift, less speed, slower stall etc.
Bigger Engine ; for the instructor to pull me out of trouble.
Bigger Plane ; Can see it easier.

I've bought a Piper Cub J4, with a .61 engine, and a 79" Wingspan.

I know from what I've read that the tpye of plane is ideal, but what about the size.

I'm trying to do this right, I want to walk before I run, but I still want an F4 II as soon as poss.
