Default Wing loading for good 3D performance

Hello everyone,

I have been slowly improving my 3D skills flying a Lanier 30% Edge 540 with a 3W75 for power. I've been having a hardtime time with the slow speed/high alpha stuff because it keeps wanting to tip stall. I've done what I could to lighten it up as much as possible and was able to get the weight down to 20.5lbs and a wing loading of 32.0oz. I was wondering if there is a target to shoot for in terms of wing loading to expect really good 3D performance? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in adavance
