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.
