What does the forum think of the value of this exercise? I don't know what
to think and am totally confused. The required weights quoted per wing seem
to range from 1000 to 2700 kilos. So was the original load test inadequate
?

Subject: AW: Europa-List: Re: AW: G Load testing Hi Paul=2C Here are some p
ictures.02+04 is preparation with a soft foam blanket on which we also mark
ed the position of the concrete bags=2C each 25 kg. 07 shows the support wi
nches=2C which you can release very slowly and jumpless15 shows the measure
ment after each load increase=2C 16+17 the full load of each side and 21 th
e full load spread. Each side 1035 kg concrete bags=2C therefore 2.070 kg i
n total. To this you have to add the wing weight of 94-100 kg complete=2C d
epends on build. The winches were released free (you can see it on the loos
e foam supports). One problem was that the support timber sticks were too s
hort=2C 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=2C 9842 and 9845With picture 9854 you can see=2C 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=2C approved by the OUV and LBA here in Germany Bruno Von:
