Default RE: Total Weights Influence

The best chart is in the building manual. They often will tell you the approximate final weight with the recommended engine. Weight will come down to wing loading and how the plane performs will depend on what that wing loading is for a given plane.

That may not answer your question, but if you look at your build manual for that aircraft, I would think that those numbers are somewhere in your manual.

Then, there is a converson chart or formula (I've seen it somewhere) that can give you the wing loading for specific aircraft wing numbers. You can bet that someone will fill in those blanks.... or go here:

and enter your numbers.
