RE: Wing Loading
pretty easy combo- our favorite motor -is a CD rewind from Japan for $ 19.95-with the optional $7.00 prewound stator .
battery 480/or larger TP 2 cell.
Th price is simply an added thing -these motors beat any small stuff we have tried -or wound
prop 8x4 orange straight blade GWS .
construction is all 3mm white Depron -250-275 squares tiny servos and rx .
These things are super indoor aerobatic flyers .
for outdoors we use the same thing -in dead calm -ortherwise -use a slightly larger model and the Hacker 34 outrunners -same prop, batts.
Our performance bipes have 35% ailerons both wings --they are basically same as the models shown on German/French indoor contest setups
Totally unlike the little sport models others here are discussing .

I do fly 100 sqin models for sport use. I don't fly flat plate foamies, however.
The gentleman did not say what type of model this was to be... he only asked if the wingloading was unreasonably high.
I can say from extensive personal experience that the wingloading of 14oz/ft2 is completely and totally reasonable and the model should fly quite nicely, provided it has reasonable power. It will probably not be a great 3D aerobat, but it will be fine for pattern style aerobatics and general sport flying.
I currently fly a 75 sqin pylon racer with a wingloading of 23 oz/sqft, a 96 sqin pylon racer at 18 oz/sqft and several 100-130 sqin sport/scale models (warbirds) at ~14 oz/sqft. All of these models are quite safe and fly very well, provided you have realistic expectations and decent piloting skills.

What is your guesstimate of the flyability of this plane?
Scale model twin 280 motors w/ 5x4 props, 10 -11k rpm gives ~ 10 oz thrust.
Wing area 1.2 sqft (176.4 sqin), wgt 21 oz = 17.5 oz/sqft
