Assuming wet snow on the wings of a highwing (Taylorcraft in this
case), Because of the presence of the struts, I'm trying to visualize if the spars would be hurt by the weight. I've viewing the strut attach point as a pivot point. Assuming an even distribution of snow, the moment around that point would be zero and no harm done. are there other forces I should take into account? - Mike PS - she's tied down so if snow slipped off one wing, the tie-down would prevent excessive tipping. |
