I am a Swedish retread and new to this forum. I grew up with 1/2A C/L aircraft, but most of my modelling career have been spent flying R/C aircraft. Because there seem to be an almost infinite amount of C/L wisdom available in this forum I have a couple of questions:
What is the typical thrust-to-weight ratio of a stunt aircraft (old time, classic and new)?
Also, is there some optimum wing loading for C/L aircraft? My reason for asking is that I have seen some very light Noblers that to me appeared to perform worse than heavier aircraft of the same type.
I am fully aware of the limited usefulness of the concept of static thrust-to-weight ratio, but I really would like to know what I should be aiming for.
