Default RE: Ideal 3D wing loading?

As you move to a larger plane the wing loading will go up. It just can't be helped. "Light wing loading" can really only be compared with similar sized planes. Take a 25% GP Patty Wagstaff Extra with a DA50 on it. Pretty heavy wing loading at say 30 or more. Take that same 30 on a 35% or 40% plane and you got something nice.
