The Spreadsheet says we should be using aluminum spars to make more than 2G load factors. That cant be right. Maybe because i'm using google docs to view the spreadsheet. Or maybe the spreadsheets are just not meant to handle full blown planes. Have you guys tried it out yet? I got the beam theory right but the load distributions are wrong. I really need to dig into Shrenk's Approximation seriously this time.
