How much of a load should a wing joiner be able to take before failing? OK, using the excellent suggestions obtained from RCSE I have fabricated an inexpensive wing joiner to replace my expensive but broken carbon fiber one.
How do I test it? The ship is a 3m Synergy 91. I never launch with a winch, I only slope. Maximum stress, I assume, comes when I pull out of a dive or snap a turn on a speed run. I have installed the joiner and suspended the wing from the tips. How much weight should I add at the center to provide a realistic test? I realize I could test to distruction (it is, after all, an inexpensive replacement) and then back off. But I would like to know what is a realistic load the ship might be subject to...not just the maximum strength of the joiner. Thanks. _____________________________________________________________ Get Free Email at http://mail.danworld.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
