Default RE: Is bigger always better?

I will add my agreement. My 100 CC is a dream to fly!! I still fly glow sometimes because of transport issues, but I am putting together a couple 50 CC planes that will fit in my truck with the TG up. Once that happens I will sell all of the remaining glow planes and run gas only....50CC and larger.

I think it's been discussed here, but I will say it again. If you have two comparable designs, bigger is necessarily and always better in terms of flight performance, that is unless you like unstable and unpredictable airplanes. Reynolds number and other factors go into exactly why this is so. I don't even pretend to understand it all, but it makes sense to me.

Bigger = Better (But only in terms of flight performance and stability, not cost and 'fun per dollar' etc...)
