4.82sq. ft. @146oz. = 30.3 oz./sq. ft. (not including fuel)
There is a range where wing loading and power loading balance and performance is optimum. It is this range for which I search.
I'm kinda new to 3D so getting in the ballpark or even in the infield would be great. I'm thinking somewhere round 27 oz./sq. ft. would be great but; how much engine can I sacrifice and still have good performance? This is where comparison data and the power loading equations come into play.
If anyone would throw in their wing loading ,engine output #s, and performance characteristics I'd appreciate that too!

My 2M pattern ship (WS 74"), weighs in at 9.69 lbs with a wing area of 1065 in^2, giving a wing loading of 21.0 oz/ft^2. On a 60 size ship I would try not to get above 23-24.
