The way I see it, there are a ton of variables that determine whether or not someone is a good flyer, and size is just one of them.
I was predominantly a flyer, despite not being a teeny tiny person – I definitely flew on some people shorter than me, but I pride myself on being able to hold my weight. On the occasions that I based, I can tell you that basing a taller girl who holds herself tight and strong is a heck of a lot easier than basing a teeny girl who flops around. But, given the choice between two flyers, who are of equal abilities except that one is taller than the other, I would honestly choose the smaller girl.
It's all relative, basically. We'd be lying to say that size doesn't factor into the equation. We'd also be lying to say that it's the only important factor.
