"G" loading on a warbird racer?
So has anyone done any testing with accelerometers or math computations to determine what kind of loads we are actually putting on our airframes?
I am talking about the warbirds we use in the SAMs and the RCPRO and other similar sized races.
I'm just curious.

Hey Tom,
Take a look at this:

You can reasonably estimate that we are pulling 20g assuming 150mph entry and 75' radius.
