In the middle of my load test , checking deflections,....calculations and realized I am still lacking in basic understanding so hopefully I can get a quick answer ......I plan to test to normal limit which is 3.8 G and have just mounted 25% of that.....so that calculates to 3.8/4=.95 Gs?....which does not make sense as sitting with no weight upside down the wing is experience 1 G .....what am I missing ....do I add 1 G to my result?
