RE: I Come, Seeking Guidance! Enlarged BUSA Stik 40
Ok, just running some numbers...
From my research, the Quadra 42 will haul a 25# "hot" (warbird, sport aerobatic, etc) airplane around with confidence. So, keeping the weight between 22 and 28 pounds,
The Stik 40 calls for a wing loading of 20-22 oz/sqft. If I stay right on that wing loading, and come in at 22#, that would give a wing area of 16 sq/ft, or just about 2X the original
size of the Stik 40 (116" span, 20" chord).
