Cheers Richard -----Original Message----- From: owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Barry Collman Sent: Saturday, 3 May 2008 10:14 PM To: commander-list@matronics.com Subject: Commander-List: Flight Load Factors Hi Guys, I need some help. I haven't got a copy of numerous Flight Manuals for the Commander Models and will really appreciate your help. I understand that somewhere within these Manuals are the "Flight Load Factors" for the Model. Could I ask that you take the proverbial "5 minutes" to look in your Manual and let me know the 'Positive G' and 'Negative G' figures, together with the Model concerned. Your help will, of course, be very much appreciated.

Same thing is true with the other listed load factors. It has been a long time so somebody please correct me where I am wrong, but I THINK the required structural strength on the tail is only 1.5 Gs!
