Default RE: WING LOADING - (LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN)

A 1:1 ratio of power to weight [or close to it] is very easy to acheive with an engine that fits within the lines of the aircraft. Nice to have surplus power.
Free, online thrust calculators will give you a ball park idea of what you've got.
From there, wing loading and airfoil is a matter of personal taste and the goals that you have for the plane.
