IFR LSA write up

[Helen]

AOPA has a really nice piece this month on the Tecnam series of aircraft
I mentioned in the earlier post about IFR LSAs.

Interesting article. I don't understand this comment, however. "With a
tapered wing but a longer wingspan and greater wing area than the Bravo,
the Sierra offers greater wing loading for a more comfortable ride over
long distances."

I don't see how a greater wing span and wing area can result in a
greater wing loading ... not unless the gross weight of the Sierra is
much higher, but I thought all LSA were limited to the same gross.
