lightest DLG gliders

The perfect recipe for ultimate hang-time due to a unique combination of airfoil, aerodynamic body and of course weight of the glider, at 70 to 90+- grans, its the lightest RC DLG Glider ever..yes ever
more information at https://www.MicroBirds.com

Specifications

Wingspan: 32.5" (825.5mm)
Length: 14" (431mm)
Wing Area 203.8 sq.in.
Wing Loading 2.61 oz./sq.ft.
Flying Weight 2.8oz (86grams)
Airfoil modified PW1211 & PW98 with washout
2 channels (elevon mixing

This is one of the nicest most interesting pieces of spam that I have every seen posted to this newsgroup.

I'd rather see posts like this than those stupid "FS: 10 year old flight computer for $500".

I don't want to hurt my brain by scaling those numbers to a real-sized
glider just to see what the wing loading is.Â* Anyone care to do the
arithmetic?

Dan,

2.61oz/sqft equals to 0.163125 pound/sqft or 0.796446 kg/m^2

Cool, thanks!

And you can just type "convert 2.61oz/sqft to pound/sqft" into Google search... always handy for things like this.

Wing Area 203.8 sq.in.
Wing Loading 2.61 oz./sq.ft.
Flying Weight 2.8oz (86grams)

What is wrong with my math below?

203.8 sq.in. / 144 = 1.4153 sq.ft.

2.8 oz / 1.4153 sq.ft. = 1.9784 oz./sq.ft. (??? but this is not 2.61 oz./sq.ft.???)

1.9784 oz./sq.ft. / 16 = 0.12365 pound/sqft

My converter says 86g = 3.033563 us oz... or 2.76596 troy oz...

And that's why the metric system rules worldwide - except for some backwater countries. What a silly way to use your brain cells, maybe we have found the reason for our trade deficit...
