Question on longitudinal static stability of an aircraft

[bourne]

wat will be the longitudinal static stability of an aircraft with a larger wing to a smaller wing?

Is one expecting a qualitative or quantitative answer.

The larger wing has greater lift for given forward velocity. Then think about the response to perturbations in fluid properties.

Also, the moment of inertia increases with size. What effect does this have on pitch (longitudinal stability) or yaw (directional stability)?
