RE: Wing load
A 20# plane divided by the wing area of 5 sq. ft =--4# per sq. ft.
----------------------------------------------10------= 2#--------
# or oz. can be divided by sq. ft. or sq. inches, all combos work.

RE: Wing load
oz/sq foot is more typically used for comparisons and shows up most often in various discussions or literature. And remember that to convert the wing area in sq inches to sq feet it's (area in sq inches)/144= (area in sq feet).

Most model's area is advertised in square inches. At least here in the US by US retailers. And if not, it's easy to measure with a yardstick in inches.
So if you have the wing area in square inches, divide that number by 144 and you've got the area in square feet.
If you know the weight in ounces, the divide that weight by the area in square feet and you got it.
Hope this is simpler to follow.
