I am wondering what the formula for wing loading is. I know my wing area and the model's weight, so if I want to get oz per square foot, do I convert the model's weight to ounces, then figure out the square footage and divide?
If anyone wants to figure it out for me with a wing loading calculator, I'd appreciate it.
Wing area is 594 square inches.
I don't have the weight, the wing loading will be a factor. I'd like to get the wing loading with the following weights, to determine what kind of equipment I'm going to want to use:
6.25#
6.5#
6.75#
7.00#
7.50#
Thanks.

Fiveoboy,
12*12= 144 inch in one sq foot
594/144=4.125 sqft of wing area
6.25/4.125=1.52 pounds per sqft convert to oz 1.52 x16 = 24 oz per sqft wingload
7.5/4.125=1.82 p/sqft or 1.82*16=29 oz/sqft
I let you figure the rest
