Default Wing loading

My Ohio 84" Extra had a pretty hight wing loading with a gas engine. I thought the plane built way heavier than they said it should. Mine also snapped really well(or bad) depending on how you look at it . Landings were a thrill for sure. The snapping finally got the best of it on a dead stick landing. I think Ohio designed the plane with a very scale size(small) stab and elevator, the stab just did'nt seem to have enough control over the wings angle of attack.
