John,
When you bent your landing gear, what did your G meter read?

Jack:
G Meter readings on the ground are almost frightening.
A hard landing will max out the g meter.
The other day when I was experiementing with 1 g glides, the wind and
weather was perfect. My last landing was going to be a greaser as I eased
it on the grass. Thought I was going to see a 1 g landing, but just as I
barely touched down, it hit 2 g's.
I have been flying with a certified g meter since my Ultrastar days. I
liked to fly aerobatics in the US and FS. The g meter helped me to be
honest and was fun to experiement with. Of course, it did not prevent me
from wearing out the FS before it was all over.
Now days it keeps me informed of how badly I am flying or how much I am
getting beaten up.
I'll have to make a mental note of max readings on the g meter, + and -.
But hard landings will certainly max it out.

I never really thought about a G meter in my Kolb, but the more I think about it the more I would like to get one. It would be interesting to see the loads of turbulence, wake, landings etc. and like John H , when it just gets to bad you need to land !
