<DIV>Nat: our calculating equip seems to agree. Last night I did the measurements and came out with the same loading, 22.4oz/sq ft.</DIV>
<DIV>Should fly just fine at that loading! I also checked the CG. I am about 7 1/2 inches back from the wing LE. The instructions suggest 7". Do you remember where your CG is? Have you made any changes in it since flying?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DIdn't see other replies, Terry, but I think you're right on....mine, with the ST2300 is 9.2, so you're in good shape. Fortunately, it has LOTS of wing....</FONT></DIV>
