Default RE: Wing Loading

Explaining what "scale weight" is. What did you do to come up with this number?


And if you'll take that chip off your shoulder, and read what I said, in context, about wind tunnels, my one statement concerned your rather flippant disreguard of why wind tunnels do what they do so well.

It isn't a SWAG, all the factors that you are telling us in your ONE comment are unimportant in the tunnel are the very reason the tunnel is used, not just throw a model in there and you get direct correllation. You have to know the effects of the 1:1 scale air, accounting for local pressure, humidity, temperature, density to make that time in the tunnel result in success.
