Default RE: Wing Loading: What is it really?

Crud, had a long response that "timed out" and I lost it, so starting all over I'll be brief.

That things heavy and the recmnded hi-pitch prop is CRUMMY for t/o and climb. Use a long paved (?) ruway to get as much speed as possible b4 flying. Be gentle and expct difficult and doggy climb. Get 3 mistakes high and slow-flight/stall it to get a feel for landing. Plan on a flat appch w/ pwr till Ur used to it.

I hope I'm wrong and it's a rocket. Either way it'll be one of your club's stars. Let us know how it went?
