Hi all,
For what it is worth the actual load tests were done on the full wing.
I have an article from Kitplane Magazine May of 1993. There is a photo of them loading the wing. The caption stated load tested to 5g's. I'll scan the article and upload it within a few days if any one would like to see it.
And Steve's post of the CD video's contained a video of the ULF-1. No big deal but I am the author of that video. I was going to build an ULF-1. Still may one day but not out of wood. Still pondering building the carbon dragon also.
Sincerely,
Schnka Or Schneider, Karl
