The tests are going well
We are finished with about 75% of all the tests to be able to complete the certification. Here you can see one of the tests we made to make sure that the horizontal tail and the fuselage was strong enough. Here is the tail loaded with about 1000kg and 2000kg on the front part of the fuselage. The german demands are realy high and you have to have a high quality fuselage to withstand the tests. Some tests who is to be made in flight and flutter test is more ore less what is missing to finish all the tests.
