Default RE: Help with computing wing loading

The area in the formula should be in square feet, i.e. (1810/144)^1.5 to get square feet raised to the 1.5 power. My fault for not stateing that the area was in square feet, not square inches. Sorry about that. In your case the WVL would be just over 9 and should result in a very flyable plane.
