Default Wing loading

Ted is really into this high wing loading thing.

He is *really* into trying to keep up with the likes of you, TS, KC
(once upon a time), 66, N7, GW, AV8, and the rest of the ASA gang

Estrella to Nogales and return, 2005. Everybody flew at 10.5+ lbs
(not sure if you were there, Andy). I was stuck at 9.2 lbs in the CZ,
and despite one of my best contest flights of the year, was the only
one who didn't make it back.

Of course, what I'm into is being able to tank up to what the
conditions warrant, whatever they are. I flew light more than a few
times last year.

I usually fly about 9.5 PSF when not resticted by the STD loading limit


Still 0.3 pounds higher than the 304CZ's max wing loading
