Default RE: 2 Ounce Difference in Wing Loading

Actually I was using that example to show him that 35oz is not too bad that he should be scared or worried about it... although I could have said that most warbirds are over 40oz wingloading as example.

I have lighter planes as well but you said the Patty felt heavy and there are multiple threads that have 1000s of replies all saying you are wrong. I have flown foamies u-can-dos, WHs, composite-arf, all the way to a Carden once or twice... I have well rounded flying expierence.

I am simplying saying that most ppl are taking wingloading to extreme lightness and its really not necessary.

Either way the point is.. the lighter the better.. but dont get too caught up in it.
