Don, I would like to see of photo of your setup, it make sense to distribute the load on the wing panels.
Thanks for the tip
Rich
I will be testing thursday, and I'll post thurs nite or fri...
Wings must be able to withstand 10G. With a fuelled up plane of about 8-9 kgrs (or a bit more), it means some 90 kgrs, or the weight of an adult person hanging under it.
No joke here, this is a serious test.
I agree and disagree...but am really curious where you got your #'s and am open to opinions
Agree: VERY serious test
Disagree: The relevant weight for a SPAR test (hanging underneath it) is the weight the wing will carry, ie the FUSE weight only.
Agree: The OVERALL test (to include skins and ribs, much harder to determine) must consider the entire weight including wing.
Disagree: I think 10g is too LOW a figure, but I have no factual basis for that claim.
Seanreit tests his wings (don't know the method) to 30 (!) G's. I will be disappointed if I cannot pass a 20G test tomorrow (primarily a spar test)
RCISFUN, I'll bet that BB wing can do 10G easily (?).
