well, for one the bigger you get, the more expensive electronics are. plus, light foams are more likely to bounce in a crash than balsa. Flite Test is based pretty much on getting beginners into the hobby, so many of their aircraft are cheap to build, so in the event of a crash they can be rebuilt quickly and easily.
