My question is what are the best techniques to decrease wing loading to get stable, slow flight characteristics (say 12-17oz) — outside of weight reduction.
The bottom line is that there are only two ways to decrease wing loading.

1. Decrease weight.

2. Increase wing area.

As stickbuilder noted some wings fly better than others based on what you want your aricraft to do.
