Default RE: Wing Load???

Wing loading is usually defined as model weight divided by wing area, usually in ounces/sq. feet. What the limits are depends on the size of the plane. A small half A type will not fly well if the wing loading exceed 10 ounces/sq. foot while a quarter scale size may be a real floater with a wing loading of up to 40 ounces/sq. foot.
