RE: Which plane for beginner?
Wing loading is the weight of the plane divided by the total area of wing.
When they say low wing loading, they are referring to a very light plane with very large wing, kind of in general terms. A GWS slow stick would be considered a plane with low wing loading, ie a floater. The spitfire would be considered a mid to high wing loading plane. ie a flying brick.
Bigger and heavier is always better in moderate wind.
