Default RE: Extra (260) wing loading

Yes, it will be a floater, WVL is somewhere between 5 and 6. Depending on your power, wind should not be problem, you will just have to fly it down to the ground, not glide down under low power. Just fly it down until it is only inches above the ground then cut your power to idle. Incidently, your computer (if using microsoft software) should have a calculator at your fingertips, if so, you should have scientific notation available on it.
