Default How big an iPad to be in fly q

I have a 16M iPad mini that runs fly Q just fine. I only load 4 states worth of data at a time including approach plates and no movies, but it works. Yes I'd like more memory but you can manage if you have to. I also have other memory hogs like navigable for driving. If I got rid of that I could load a few more states.

FlyQ has geo referenced airport diagrams. One reason I bought it. No extra charge.

Perhaps that was my problem. I loaded the entire US on my 16gig mini. Still wouldn't explain my problems with their handheld unit tho. I would turn it on, see it had satellites and a position fix, fly for thirty minutes never touching it. After returning to my hangar I would pick it up and nothing worked, none of the screen touch buttons functioned. They gave me a new unit, same issues. Hardly user error when the user wasn't involved. Could be some type of database errors for the Portland area was crashing their software. Also had problems with the measure feature where you touch two points on the screen and it gives you distance. That would lock up the mini so badly that I had to remove it from the tablet and reload it.
