Default RE: Wingloading 101 help

most all do - but if you want one THAT size n weight to hover and pull out vertically you need power far in excess of the little DA100
The DA100 at our altitude is all played out at under 30 lbs of total airframe weight Once again - no formulas required - the sliding scale remains go bigger - weight is not a problem -but power is.
go smaller , power is not a problem - weight is the tricky part.
For those who have built competitive indoor FAI aerobatic stuff and 40% aerobatic stuff - there is no mystery to this "rule of thumb".

It is obvious.
