High Plains and RFJ,

Tnx.. for the heads up! I had not calculated the wing loading, but I think in listening to your description, you must have gotten an "early" one. The model you see pictured has a nice radius on the leading edge, model did not feel extremely heavy too me and I guess I will simply say that its been my lot in Modeling to tend to build my planes a bit on the heavy side. I learned to fly, where the wind was a GIVEN never less than 15mph and as high as 35 to 40 mph. So I learned to fly in the wind or you simply did not fly. Heavier models will penetrate a bit better so the weight won't bother me as I'm not going to "HOVER" this model, it will be a good sport, practice plane.

But you do have me curious about the Wing loading on mine now! [sm=confused.gif]

Still think its a great deal for the money. (IMHO)
