Hello!
I am trying to design my first aircraft, and I am having problems with using the wing loading.
I have decided that the plane will be 1600 grams and have a wing area of 300 dm^2. The wings will have 225 dm^2 with an aspect ratio of ten.

10 x
10x^2 = 225 dm^2
x= 4.75 dm
This means that the chord will be 47.5 centimeters.
I just find this hard to believe after comparing this to other trainers of similar design.
Am I doing something wrong? Something does not add up here.
Thank you for your time!
