Wing loading is basically weight and wing area, the engine doesn't factor in other than contributing to the final weight. For scale models I prefer to overpower then use the throttle to control the airplane. This allows for larger props and lower RPM. Nothing worse than a nice scale model with a screaming two stroke.
