Default RE: Wing Loading on Warbird?

Our plane at work is 101" (1767 sq " ) at 60lbs with a 3W75, a lil' heavy but flyable, climbs out at just about 45 degrees. I throw that number in just so you can get an idea that with models, we're not even getting close to hi wingloadings.

I'd have to agree, very light indeed !
