Default RE: How Hard can you push a Kingcat ?

just curious amigo....but why on earth would you subject the airframe to that level of stress? you may accelerate yourself towards the service limit of the airframe, just like the big boys.

be sure to check the airframe for stress cracks, particularly along the booms (whether you have the carbon reinforcement or not) along with the wing tube / pin areas, in addition to the engine mount area

best example of strain placed on i've seen was watching Jeremy or Wojtek fly (video of course)

I've completed around 125 flights on my Wren XL 200 (34lbs)powered Kingcat and loving it
I've been pushing the airframe hard with full power high G turns and full power dives etc - Just wanted to know how much more punishment can a KC really take ?
Can a KC handle for eg Full power snaps ?
