I'm wanting to know if largera wingspanie. 63" on a low wing plane makes iteasier to fly(vs) a low wing plane with a smaller wing span of 36"
Specific plane is a Cap 232 by General Planes. Thanks for the help. Basslakeflyer

If they are both Cap 232 ( comparing apples to apples ) and if they are both set up correctly the larger of the two will always be easier to fly. Not trying to intentionally insult you but the fact that you are asking this basic of a question leads me to beleive you may not be ready to sucessfully fly a Cap 232

Speedracerntrixie, thanks for the anwser. I was thinking the same but wasn't sure on a low wing. You're deduction is correct that I have not the experience yet to fly the Cap 232. I have only been flying for two months and flying a high wing trainer but getting boared with it quickly and looking towards the future. Happy Flying Basslakeflyer

Welcome to the RCU forums, basslakeflyer!

You can find some recommendations for a second plane in these threads:

Responding your question: Yes, bigger planes fly better, but it is more due to a wider wing chord and bigger inertia than to a longer wingspan.

Are you sure you have done all you can do with that trainer?
Maybe is the trainer who is bored of the pilot?

I bet you have not learned all you can from that trainer in just two months.

Best luck with your second plane!

You may be quite surprised at what your trainer can actually do if you tune it up.  Start with increasing the throws of all the surfaces.  Then move the CG back a little at a time and do something called dive testing (search for it in the glider forum as it's been described how to do many times) until it's fairly far back.  Finally learn to add some rudder to go with the aileron inputs.  Using some rudder with the aileron really snaps the roll rate up a bunch.    With the setup indicated the model will do rolls, immelmans, stall turns, likely fly inverted but if it's got a flat bottom wing it may not like doing outside loops.

As for the original question much of the added ease for flying the bigger version comes from the higher weight of the big model and it's inertia that damps the movement compared to the more instantanious response of a shorter moment and lighter weight on a smaller model.  I believe the term is "swing moment"  You can feel this yourself.  Flick a pencil back and forth like a windshield wiper and it's easy to do it fast.  Now try the same thing with a 2 foot length of 3/4 inch dowel and you'll find you can't do it as fast.

CAPS got a bad rap from MOST early kit designs which were simply put - grossly overweight
A correctly designed CAP model is a very easy to fly yet aerobatic platform
As you are new at this stuff - do yourself a favor - learn to do wingloading calculations (lbs per sq ft is easy and adequate)
ALWAYS go for the lowest wingloads - in a particular size-everything else being equal.
No amount of "carefully chosen airfoils and superior testing blah blah will affect
your results as much as getting a lighet wingloading.
