If the actual extreme load is 6 g, the glider will loose wings as soon as G-loading is greater than 6 g. Not 5 seconds later, not 0.5 second later, but immediately. And not "progressively" (can you loose wings progressively ???) Yes - on some gliders anyway. The Schweizer 1-34 is designed so that the *first* failure occurs about 2/3 out from the root at about 8 Gs. Tony V http://home.comcast.net/~verhulst/SOARING
