Michael,Did you read Jack's post?He clearly stated that the forces he referred to, for a 4G loading, did NOT includeany Factor of Safety. For an item such as this, where a failure would becatastrophic (i.e. you, as pilot, along with any passenger will most likely dieas a result of failure) it would be prudent to allow a Factor of Safety of 3.That means that you figure out the maximum loading likely to occur during normaluse, and then multiply by the Factor of Safety. This is to account for thingsas manufacturing errors, or hidden flaws in the materials, or sudden, unexpectedexcessive forces, etc. So, in this case, the calculated maximum load is3200 lb - multiplied by the Factor of Safety, will give you a Design load ofabout 10,000 lb.Does that count as an explanation?Bill C.Read this topic online here:

VERY COOL! What are you powering them with? How far along are you? Got pics?I'm currently messing with plans (with a highly qualified professional doing allthe real brain-work... I just throw ideas at him and see what sticks!) fora 75% scale Albatros. Current plan is to use a Model A (or B) with some "powerenhancement" (Not just a stock engine!) for power.--------Brad "DOMIT" SmithFirst rule of ground school: This is the ground... don't hit it going fast.Read this topic online here:

Looks great Tom... maybe a tad taller than mine. What a great feeling for you!I've come very close to pulling my bungees and replacing with springs. But,I think I finally found a way to get the bungees tight enough with a come-along...and lots of cussing.Don EmchNX899DERead this topic online here:
