Yes but doesn't there have to be a 50% safety margin on g load
After all you could pull nearly 6 g in a turn (80 degrees bank) taking
Evasive action for example.
But back to the original question how does one support the a/c adequately
for the testing in the inverted
position

wrong thought Craig. It has to be done the standard way. Design load is 4.5
G (from dilute memory)
Don't try it without a qualified Inspector, easy to break something.

Subject: Europa-List: G Load testing
I have seen a few photos on the group over the years with
a/c inverted and bags of sand, concrete, gold coins etc stacked
evenly on the wings to simulate the G loading, question is how are
people supporting the weight for this test through the fuselage itself
obviously the top of the cockpit would be insufficient to take such a load
of what 8000+ pounds, assuming 6g x 1370lb, or do I have the math wrong on
this
my thoughts were it may be easier to keep the A/C upright and load the
weight
into the cockpit with the whole lot supported by cradle and->
