    Subject: Re: Another load test of D-EGFL
    ahhh the Italian Red will give birth to a beautiful German Lightning.... Gerd, Thanks for the load data info. Always knew it was a strong bird. Bear -----Original Message----- From: Gerd + Uli Nowack <NowackLinden@gmx.de> Sent: Sun, Aug 16, 2015 4:57 pm Subject: Lightning-List: Another load test of D-EGFL Hi Guys and Dolls, My D-EGFL, kit 162 underwent another test and crossed an important hurdle on her way to the Permit To Fly. As one of the load tests I have to pass dictates, we lashed the engine to a steel beam ( later with our car`s front wheels on either end) and loaded the Mk.2 tail with a previously calculated load of 171,5 kg eq about 370lbs on each horizontal stabilizer, thereby testing a: the strength of the tail b: the strength of the engine mount simulating a total load eq of 5.5g and c: the main ldg gear by simulating a 2g static load , all in one go! Even if it`s crazy, it`s got method! You all will be pleased to hear that my Lightning, built just like yours , performed great and carried that load without the tiniest sound or give! As you can see on pic 2 the load consisted of ten 30kg bags of concrete mix, two 1l (eq 1kg) PET water bottle and four 10l containers of a very nice, not too dry Montepulciano del Abbruzzo Italian red wine. If you have no style you have nothing. To be continued! Gerd
