If I remember correctly, figures from Jeannette Rand, stated that each 6"
added to the wing length,
decreases the "G" load factor by 1/2 G. (please this my re-call and not
necessarily accurate).
This being true, and I increased my fuselage width by 4", and my center spar
by 6", does that add
2" to the actual wingth length or 6" ?
