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 ?
Why should Arm 36g bend if there was no failure of the rudder hinge arms?
The rudder hinge arms showed some cracking but had not failed. The hinge arm cracking can be explained by the ?partial failure? of Arm 36g causing some bending in a direction that they were not designed to resist.
