Wing loading for various glider types?

[chemsurfer]

I am wondering what typical wing loadings are for some different types of gliders. I looked around the web at a few different models that are commercially produced and have found the following estimates:

HLG/DLG: 4-5 oz./sq. ft.
Average sloper: 8-11 oz./sq. ft.
Slope Racer: 14-16 oz./sq. ft.
DS'er 15 oz./sq. ft. and well beyond

These are based on looking at only a few models, are they pretty decent estimates?

The wing loading should be as light as possible consistent with the necessary strength and stiffness of the structure and then with provisions for adding ballast to increase the wing loading for heavy air or high speeds. In the case of DS models, you just can't make them too strong or too stiff so all the weight should go into the structure.

When comparing flying wings to conventional configurations, the flying wings use airfoils that can't reach as high a coefficient of lift so that their wing loadings should be roughly 25% lower for comparable performance.
