Hi Paul,


Here are some pictures.

02+04 is preparation with a soft foam blanket on which we also marked the
position of the concrete bags, each 25 kg. 07 shows the support winches,
which you can release very slowly and jumpless

15 shows the measurement after each load increase, 16+17 the full load of
each side and 21 the full load spread. 

Each side 1035 kg concrete bags, therefore 2.070 kg in total. To this you
have to add the wing weight of 94-100 kg complete, depends on build. 

The winches were released free (you can see it on the loose foam supports).
One problem was that the support timber sticks were too short, so that we
had to do some work on the wing surface later.

A similar test was also done with the tail plane 100 to 150 kg and opposite
(pictures 9839, 9842 and 9845

With picture 9854 you can see, that this load test on a classic one failed.
The fuselage/cockpit was not correct made and the fuse started to bulk out.
This was later repaired and than ok. 

This is the wing load test, approved by the OUV and LBA here in Germany

Does anyone have any photos that show the entire wing under load where I can
see the deflection?

Bruno,
Thanks for your post -we can trust a German to provide some excellent
detail!  That photo gives me great confidence in the design - they are bags
of cement?
Clive :D
