Default RE: Aft CG and aileron effectiveness

No one is "wrong" in this thread. The classic and accepted way of looking at the wing loading is simply weight divided by surface area. When I'm calculating the wing loading of a new model that's how I do it as well. But that doesn't mean that other factors are not at work in a flying model and that those effects don't come into effect.
