Default RE: Wing Loading too high???????

Thanks for the encouraging words khodges and all the others. I will keep the speed up and use the flaps on take off and landing. I wanted to mention that the wing and horizonal stab has 2 1/2 degrees positive insodense. My final weight will be 14.25lbs with 1118 sq inches of wing. I think I will be at 29.4 oz. /sq. foot. Is my math correct? May be able to get rid of the flywheel and go to EI or Glow and shed another pound. Glow is looking more and more appealing. If I loose a pound I will be down to 27.3 oz. of wing load. Do you all think this will make a big difference? In other words is it worth it?
