Default RE: More important weight or wing loading

Thick wings don't lift more - they just lift well over a broader set of flying angles

this is the key, a candy bar shaped thick wing gives max lift for slow high alpha stuff, it slows everthing down so I can keep up with inputs. an airplane with a flat wing is like flying a high strung sports car - one wrong move and you are in the dirt. can't wait till these popular foamies have built up style wings and fuse.
