Randy,
lurking, with our 235/320, interested. The lml has m entioned the original 235 gross of 1400 was raised to 1500 after the tests ... which tests?
I heard 9Gs somewhere, and also heard that the glass margin of safety is sometimes designed for Limit plus 100% instead of 50%...
Either way, it's comforting to hear the big G numbers, and will probably set our Limit at 4.4Gs and 1650.
I watched the G-meter a lot in Colorado X-country flightrs with big thermal bumps, and they always FELT a lot bigger than they registered on the meter...fwiw.

Duane,
I heard that the original 235 wings were tested to dist ruction at the
factory many years ago. If memory serves they failed around 11 g's or some
ridiculous # like that.
So i'd say you are safe to 10.5 g's...
Ok ok just kidding... but the first part is supposedly legit lore..
Stick to 4.4 utility and you should never come close to failing the
structure...
