I'm looking for guidance and references on how to go about proof load testing a horizontal stabilizer. What are the relative merits of applying the load by sand or hydraulic jacks?
I'm also looking for a second opinion on the load I should apply using the following numbers: Gross weight 1400 lb, Wing area 110 sq ft, Stabilizer area 15 sq ft, 150 hp, 150 mph cruise, 14' Tail moment arm, Tricycle gear, Low wing.
Thank you,
