On the GR4

Things are slightly more robust on the GR4, there is a covered switch in the front cockpit (which is set by the engineers when they load the fuel tanks). With 2250l tanks fitted, the switch is set to 63 degrees and it becomes impossible for the pilot to sweep the wings past this, no matter how strong he is, without uncovering and then changing the switch to 67 degrees.
