Well, according to the tcds linked from german CAA website (
https://www2.lba.de/data/bb/Segelflug/sp_0286_01.pdf ) its certified to
german LFS requirements without deviations. The min required load factors
then is +5.3 / -2.65g at max maneuvering speed, lineary decreasing to +4.0
/ -1.5g at Vne.
Airbrakes out requirements are +3.5 / -0g.



Thank you very much.
That railway line, main spar looks like it could take a lot more abuse than the certified limits.
