Hey Josh and friends.
At only 2 years in the hobby I'm still learning a lot, especially the lingo and if anyone can help me with this phrase, that would help me fly my Carbon Z much better.

At 12:13 they discuss the pitfalls to this plane and Josh says, "Fly the wing, not the motor"
What does that mean?
HE also said the term wing loading, which I have searched and read about, but at this point the only reason to find or figure out wing loading is to see a. how much room you need to take off, b. Stall speed. Right ?
Well stall speed would be enough motivation for me (as a newb) to learn wingloading and how to find/figure it out.
I've stalled my Carbon Z probably 3 times, to it's demise. I've rebuilt it each time (so I could crash again) and it wasn't until recently that I learned two things about this plane. It must fly faster than I'm used to flying (with my Eflite Apprentice, or T-28 Trojan) And I need a lot more space to fly it.
Thanks in advance to everyone that is able to share some wisdom and insight.
Sincerely,
Michael
