Default EDF wingloading

Can you tell us more about what you're building? What size and type jet are you planning?

30-40 oz/sq ft can be fine for a large plane -- I believe it's not at all unusual for prop-driven warbirds in the 7 to 8 foot span range -- but that's a lot of wing volume. A smallish plane would need too much speed at that loading to be very pleasant to fly.
