Wing Loading Calculations

• motor 35g
• esc 19g
• batt 87g
• or batt 50.9g
• servo 9g X 3
• receiver 11.5g
• fuselage (unknown as yet)

total with the larger battery

179.5gms

• Wing Area = 8.7 dm²
• Weight = 179.5g
• Wing Loading = 20.6 g/dm2
• Wing Cube Loading = 7 (this is good for a trainer)

Based on: http://www.ef-uk.net/data/wcl.htm

Based on the print area of 1dm3 four wing segments would be about 1.2dm x 4.8dm = 5.76 dm2 which is too low. Whereas 7 segments = 8.4 which is nearer.

If the wing is printed end on at a diagonal then the max width will be about 14mm on a 10x10mm bed. To be on the safe side 8 sections would be needed to allow for lap joints etc.
