Snao G's

[Bob Richards]

Ken,
 
That is my thought as well. I would think that a stall occurring at a high speed (pattern) would be the most severe in terms of G loading. Further elevator deflection would not increase the Gs.

Matt,
I could be wrong, but isn't 3D, by definition, done in a constant state of stall?  Wouldn't that eliminate a lot of the high G's in the maneuvers?  I wouldn't think the airframe would be in as stressed state, when the flying surface is depending on prop wash, not air speed, to do it's thing.

If this accelerometer is finding 13 G loads generated by a Pattern model snap, a relatively low amount really, I imagine that a 3D model set up for a full array of stunts has to be experiencing double that at least.
 
Earl could you do any 3D type maneuvers and measurements with the Yak?
 
Very informative discussion BTW, and may result in improved more efficient building technique, read-- lightest for the desired strength.
 
thanks
