In a message dated 07/12/96  23:55:08, you write:

>Full deflection should be around 9 G.<

Where does that come from ? - you certainly need the spring rate and weight
of a/c to calculate it.  If it were 9g a half ton a/c would  appear to be 4
1/2 tons unless you have a weird  slide rule Ron.  9 g used to be the desgin
limit for military pilot g-suits, hardly desirable kit for the Europa, frame
or pilot.  With all these undercarriages out of the aeroplanes just now,
perhaps someone will static load the  arm  and measure it, though the factory
must surely have done this.
