Scale is one thing, Cowboylifesaver. But by nature, I'm actually a kiter and that's essentially where my "aviation" interest started. From the old diamonds and boxes all the way up to the Top Of The Line Hawaiians and Revolution four-lines. The trouble was in finding enough wind to fly them, along with the limited choice of fields. What I have discovered in RC, is that in some cases a model can fly as good, if not better than its full-scale counterpart. And it's all in the overall design of the airframe; the shape remains the same.

Color and appearance have a heavy influence on a kiter's choice of wares. The Cheveron Hawaiians from back in the day were very attractive with their rainbow of colors, and how they would contrast with the sky on a pleasant afternoon with moderate winds. A Decathlon makes for an optimum choice here, as it indeed bursts with color in contrast to the blue sky; much like the kite dancing to the controls of the operator. The overall shape of these planes make them easier to see at higher altitudes, and this adds greatly to the flight latitude. Yes, you can achieve similar results with some of the variations of the Mojo, but those have to be kept closer and just aren't as smooth at the sticks.
