Default Wing Loading?

I must not be doing the math right because the answers I'm getting just dont seem right. What would the wing loading be if the plane has a wing area of 8 sq. ft. and a total weight of 15lbs? Also whats the equation to figure this out.

Thanks

Default RE: Wing Loading?

nevermind, figured it out as soon as I posted this. so with that it would be 30oz per sq. ft. Seems pretty high so I think i'll widen the wing some more. A 15in wide wing and 8 ft long with 15lbs total weight would be 24oz sq. ft so thats looking a little better,
