I have heard that I should go with a MVVS58. I'm sure the MVVS58 is gonna have more power than the DA. My question is will my Yak fly ok at ~18lbs, 1380sq feet wing loading? How do I calculate wing loading or what do I compare it to know if its right?

1380 in/sq divided by 12 twice = 9.58

18lbs times 16oz = 288oz total

288 divided by 9.58 = 30.06 oz per sq/in

Not bad, I think anything at about 30 oz per sq/in is not bad for 3D.

I would not go any higher than 31 oz per sq/in if possible.
