Chris,

I checked the web site and couldn't find info on the KR1-B wing 
span.  Here is the way I read the formula:

For sake of example let's say the wing span is 27 feet and the 
airplane weighs 450 pounds.

27 X 27 = 729 square feet.  450 pounds /  729 square feet =  .617 
lb/sq ft.  That just meets the requirements.\

You would need the actual numbers to use as a building target , i.e, 
weight to wingspan.
