I went first to a 1/4 scale Fokker DR1 because they ( 1/4 scale) fly better than smaller ones and can be seen easier. Then I went to a 1/3 scale Fokker DVII because they can be seen better and fly better than the smaller ones. GOSH, did I just repeat myself LOL Bigger is just more fun to watch and you can put more things in them ( like paintball guns) for sound effects. One draw back is the size, you just about need to get a trailer or a van to haul the bigger planes but what a WOW factor when people watch you start bringing the plane out of your hauler and setting it up, then out comes all the questions from the on lookers. What a rush.
