Thanks for the info. and comments.

As information, I was thinking of a Thorp S-18 (or T-18CW) when I
posed the question. As far as I know, all "over-stressed" properly
built T-18's have shown signs at G-limits as predicted and at relatively
high gross weights, and then only on the wings or fuselage near the
wings. That would lead me to believe that Va for low gross weight
would be OK for any weight, since the wing loading would be the same.

Since I live in Georgia, USA, I can categorically state that the head of
a pin question is moot. Angels are all Baptists, and don't believe in
dancing.
