Default RE: Why are FlyeagleJet going so Big !

Since I fly off of a 380 ft. runway my club members and myself are limited to smaller jets. The 1/8th F-16 and Rafale are ideal and I'd like to see more offerings for 14 - 20 lbs. turbines.

In addition to what David S. said I'm sure the profit margin is better on larger jets. Most customers are willing to pay twice as much for a large jet, and it doesn't cost twice as much to design, develop, tool, and manufacture one.
