Default Power Loading/Wing Loading Equations

I remember reading an article in either MA or MAN listing some aerobatic, scale, and warbird power and wing loading info.
I need some help trying to locate that or similar articles.
It was probably within two years ago... I think.

I've got a .60 size Cap 232 that weighs 7# 2.5oz. without an engine and muffler. The weight includes an 18X6 wood prop and a 2 1/2" aluminium spinner.

I tried a Magnum 1.08 and although the power was immense, it weighed just over 9#s. A bit heavy me thinks!

Any help and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jazzy
