the DH82 obviously wasn't designed to the loads of FAR23.
It was probably designed to one of the early english standards.
what were the loads requirements the DH82 was designed to?
Folks,
The DH82 ( and the Chipmunk) were both designed to RAF requirements, not civil standards.
Structurally, they were accepted "as is" for original civil certification (let's not argue about anti-spin strakes)
Tootle pip!!
