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

Yer right CP. I guess we shouldn't trust Marwen's math at face value.... The average chord is (48+6)/2= 27. 27 x 60 = 1620 sq inches or 11.25 sq feet. So the wing loading is actually a feathery 14.2 oz/sq ft. That's just barely over thermal soaring glider wing loading territory.
