"And further more".......Everything else is NEVER equal !! So, just the wing loading will not tell the entire story. It will be an indication, a factor, but not an absolute. If both are models of the same full size aircraft ( or if they are not scale models say they are both Sig Kadet Seniors or whatever) then the lighter wing loading will be the better (easier) flyer. However, if one is a P-51 Mustang and the other is a Kadet Senior, the kadet will still be the easier flyer. STYLE matters. What style aircraft are you comparing? Exactly what two models are you looking at? What aircraft have you flown and feel comfortable with? If they take a 30cc gas engine, they must be a good sized serious model, not normally a newbie plane (you said your were a newbie). Tell us more details please.
