I couldnt get volume on my phone, did they announce how much weight was used in the static test?

We need one of our members from Germany to translate.

I was curious about the weight too but I couldn't understand the language. Makes me feel better and is a real confidence builder knowing that I am flying under a wing that can handle that kind of a load!

Hi, I'm one of the guys in the movie and I and my friend Hajo are the builders of this Kitfox Series 7 kit.
The load on the wings was 2072 kg. It's calculated for 3.8g at 1550 lbs MTOW. Such static tests are mandatory for each experimental aircraft in Germany.

Hi, I checked out the link using an ipad 4 . I was surprised to see a translate button up on top, pushed it and all was translated to english

Here is a photo from an old Skystar brochure that is even more impressive. The sign in front says " gross weight 1650lbs , 5.7 G's". This would be what is called the ultimate loading test which is 150 % above the normal 3.8 g that my plane is built for. I asked when at the factory way back then what occurred above the 5.7 g loading , and was told the tubing where the lift strut attaches to the fuse started to bend , but nothing snapped. One of the reasons I bought my Series 5 in '99. Bruce N199CL
