Hello,
This AD promt that if you go past +5 or -3g you have to bring the
plane to Cap Aviation (Apex now), to control the structure ("longeron"
~spar (?) in particulary).
In our competitions, we autorise (normaly) +5/-3,5g (for +6/-4,5g
constructor's limitations), consequently for the moment most of
negatives figures are delicates (even impossible) at +4/-2g (we keep
1g range with Apex).
Normaly, all figures don't need to go past +4,5/-3 (like in the
article of Daniel Agnoux). Then we are waiting a new AD for the end of
february (with a new "bulletin de service", a new inspection
procedure to control the structure) to recover the originals limits.
I hope so...
