I don't think I said that nor do I think it; on the contrary.

reliably to approach foamy class wing loading other things being constant. I'm thinking more along the lines of structural integrity. I could be wrong but I don't think there are many aerobatic pattern designs using a 40 size glow engine (which I've taken as a given) which have sub 10 lb. wing loading.
But..., I don't think it's needed or even desirable. Get it in the 14-17 lb. loading ballpark and the classic should then exhibit pattern like behaviour while still being docile if wanted approaching the manner of a Kadet.
I believe there is an intersection point between a classic and a Kadet that yields what the OP had in mind. I think we're all naturally looking at the solution through our own eyes.
