Weight!!
Weigh must be considered in conjunction with Wing Area ie By dividing flying weight in ozs by wing area in sq feet. The resultant is expressed in oz/sq foot --imperial measure or grms/ sq decimeter metric measure. Charts are available (Nomograms) for this. By reading off this table a suggested ballast loading for a given wind speed, is obtained. This ballast must be placed at the COG, so as not to upset the air crafts trim. Secondly , the structural integrity of the model must be considered in the event of harsh landings with added weight..
