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

Well, I certainly don't have the background or credentials that otrcman has. I just learned as i went along in this hobby. And much of what I type is parroted back from other folks and sources.

As indicated the wing loading or cubic loading of two models of the same design other than size is an indicator of what it will be like to fly each. But since it's a subjective thing and the cubic loading equation has all the earmarks of being only quasi scientific there is room for some interpretation in the results. It also depends on what factor you're looking to match as suggested by Dick in his reply.

If the replies so far don't answer the question then you may need to supply more details.
