Thanks to all
Yep, I knew it was discussed a while back but the thread is a bit too long ! Thanks HN, I'll go away and read it. Must say I had imagined that a maximum design load would be based on a calculation of maximum aerodynamic loading without reference to the weight of the piece. I'll go look ! (edit: just have done, this will take some time !)
From what I understood from the 36g discussion, there was no mention of bending of the arm, is that not surprising even if the first motion/forces were all in the longtitudinal plane ?
