and is FAA certified to +6 / -3 G's.
Anyway, you did say you got up to 9G's at times. I don't understand how the plane withstood that without bending the frame. Joke?
Post 276:
Just a point you made re: 9g's ... if you read it you'll know it wasn't all the time. You pull a turn trying to get inside the other pilot's turn you will pull up to that much.
If, if , if ,if you pulled 9gs ... never said I’d get there. You’d tunnel out long before that because even being a dumb blond I know you need a g-suit.
And that’s why, say, a Boeing 777 under wing stress tests can pull 150% of their load before the wing snaps. And before you accuse me of comparing the two planes, it’s what the FAA says the M-260 is rated at not what it could be capable of. The demonstrated cross-wind landing of a Cessna 152 is 12kts. That’s not to say it could land at a CW of 15 or more. It’s what’s demonstrated. Key word.
