Hi Hawk21,
I did some research on RCU and 30 oz/pi2 would be to heavy for an aerobatic plane like the 24% Extra300. That size (120-140) should have 24-26oz/pi2 of ratio like a pattern plane.

I have measured my wing area and I calculated 855 in2 without the fuse area. If I can keep my plane at 10.5 lbs (168oz), I would have the following ratio: 168oz/5.937ft2=28.29 . That's the best ratio that I can get with an MVVS1.6 in the nose! Probably I will need to mix the ailerons with flaps to reduce the landing speed...

I asked to planesplus the recommended wing area and oz/ft2 ratio without success until now
