Default RE: How many G's ????

I have recorded up to 16 on my last BobCat Composite. I know I have other times pushed the plane a lot harder ( when i was no measuring with the Eagletree system ) and would not be surprised if it was not significantly over 20 ( all in the confines of 200MPH .. I try to avoid pulling too hard when pushing significantly past 200 ) .. I know that kind of abuse in the long run is not healthy for an airframe ( you can see the wings bend at over 16Gs , which is like loading the wings with 2 large persons on the little plane !! ) and have only tried some manouvers a few times The BobCat loos great doing a "wall" or a 100MPH snap roll .. I think a good question would also be how do the turbines physically handle this kind of stress also ? ...
