Default RE: Wing loading ?

A low wing loading doesn't garrantee that your plane is a floater. See how far an electric foamy indoor plane glides without power. On the other hand, sailplanes can have surprisingly high wing loadings as long as the drag is low, permitting high speed flight without a lot of energy loss.
