A simplistic way to look at it is the fuel only provides relief inboard of the tanks...outboard of the fuel tanks there isn't any relief. If the critical location (smallest margin of safety) is inboard of the fuel tank then your answer is yes...wing fuel does increase the g rating.
So it really depends on where the fuel tank is and where the critical location is...unfortunately I don't think we know where the critical location is. https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/ https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/parts-for-sale On Aug 22, 2013 7:26 PM, "pk.smith at bigpond.net.au" <pk.smith at bigpond.net.au> wrote: > Does this calculation change if all your fuel is in the wings.
