In general larger models fly better than smaller models. They tend to be more stable, less affected by wind, less "touchy" on takeoff and landing. Oh, there are exceptions, but there are with everything. I've always favored the larger end of "small" models (i.e., 60" wingspans and up) although my druthers and my transportation realities are somewhat at odds these days - hard to fit a 6'+ single piece wing in a Honda Civic. My list of planned acquisitions includes a fair share of 1/4 and 1/3 scale subjects. May take a few years, but I'm (semi)patient.
