I feel like Ornithocheirus/Criorhynchus deserves a spot on there. The lower estimates put it's wingspan at about 6-7 meters while the higher ones suggest it could have been as big as 12 meters.

12 m is by far too much. The original material of Ornithocheirus, recovered from England, indicates a mid-sized species with a wing span of 2.5 m. Referred specimens attributed to Ornithocheirus can reach 5 m. It was still huge though.

I thought Arambourgiana was a lot bigger than 7 meters. The biggest is around 12. I personally use feet, so this is what I think
Hatzegoperyxs
45 feet
Quetzlequatlus
40 feet
Arambourgiana
40 feet
Ornithocheirus
39-40 feet
I didn't bother to write the next ones (that's my way of saying I didn't know)

Isolated fossils found in S. America, specifically Brazil, that have been attributed to Ornithocheirus/Criorhynchus show sizes in the 12 meter(40 ft) ballpark.
GigaDino, I can tell by the estimates you give that you use Wikipedia. I don't recommend using Wikipedia. Some of the info is ok, but I don't trust/agree with most of it. Just saying ;)

I like his estimates, they're great. However, I do agree on "Ornithocheirus" being bigger than 11 m from tip to tip based on a jaw piece any humerus belonging to an azhdarchid that resembled Ornithocheirus. The pieces come from Austria, not South America. (however, giant pterosaur fragments have been found there, also belonging to azhdarchids)
The species is "Ornithocheirus" buenzeli, though it is not actually an Ornithocheirus species.

Well, if you don't agree with his estimate, this doesn't meaning that it's a bad source. Wikipedia's infos were referentiated.
The Ornitocheirus that is supposed to be 11 m isn't actually a Ornitocheirus species.
