i was in a plane this past weekend doing loops and all kind of crazy things. hit 3.5 G's. and the one thing i noticed was the plane had mig welds.

another note, as soon as we were done, i had to check what the G's are in a Top Fuel dragster and according to the internet it is 5-6 on launch which must be totally incredible



I used to own and fly a 1948 Luscombe 8F Silvaire with a 115 Lycoming Conversion....aluminum structure & skin .... stress rated to +6 -4 g's fun ride ... it was actually the first all-metal small plane produced
