Default RE: cubic versus pounds per square foot ? Differences ?

And both methods offer a subjective valuation of their loading figures. So neither really can be 'wrong.'

I've often wondered if the aeronautical engineering community has ever offered an opinion of how well the cubic system works in practice. Wondered how alike a small model flies compared to the larger one when they both have the same volume. Like stall speed, load carrying etc.

BMatthews might know about that????
