So, after a push humpty, a half roll on the downline and a pause that was way too long, I managed to honk on 6.7g as I noticed the ground getting larger at a quicker than normal rate. Not the worst overstress of my illustrious career but something that I hadn't done yet in the Pitts. Having flown a bunch of different birds for the Navy, I know that each one had some very specific things to look at on an overstress outside of general condition, engine mount bolts on one, skin on a certain part of the wings on another.
What tends to fail first in an overstress situation (postitive and negative)? Are there any stress critical components on a, pretty-close-to-factory but plansbuilt, S-1?
Thanks,
Marty Hill
