Anyone remember the formula for figuring the wing loading on A Bipe??

Same as anything else:

Divide the Sq Inches of the total wing area (Both wings) by the total weight in Ounces.

Divide weight in pounds by square inches and multiply by 2304. This will convert to ounces per square foot, the normal units for wing loading.

Suppose your plane weighed 5 pounds and had 600 sq. in. area. the wing loading would be (5/600) x 2304 = 19.2 oz/sq ft
