I put my wing spar design to the test. After designing and extruding my own custom aluminum, I finally get to test it...to the breaking point. Watch as I put all the engineering to the test!

"I dont see any reason why I'd try and hang a cub from my wingtip" He says now, but now that he knows he can do it, its gonna start to look awfully convenient when someone else gets a flat landing on some mountainside somewhere and you need to lift their plane to swap a wheel :)

I love seeing this level of real world testing, and it is amazing to see how accurately CAD modelling can come to real world results. Great stuff.

I recently retired as a physicist whose work included FEA as a design tool. I have been doing FEA for decades. It is always a thrill and tremendously satisfying when physical tests match the FEA predictions. FEA is a microscope, X-Ray viewer, time machine, and material selector all rolled into one.

You know Mike is cool and entertaining when I just watched over 30 minutes of a guy wrenching on a scale and writing numbers down and I’m sad that the video wasn’t longer (as always with every video) 💪🏼

I'm not a pilot. I'm not a designer. I'm not an engineer. I was totally amazed by this video and had to watch to the end just to see if Mike's design worked. Well done Mike, of all levels!!

Real engineering. Thanks for showing everyone how it’s REALLY done.

Holy crap, the level of engineering this man will go to for a one of a kind aircraft is absolutely ludicrous in the best way.

Well Done, Professor. My Wife is a HS Math Teacher of 30 years.

I have resorted to watching ur old videos mike for happiness. PLEASE keep putting them out!!!!!!

An an engineer, I love seeing this type of real world analysis displayed in a fashion that non-engineers can understand and relate to. Good job Mike!

There are just some people you want to be around and hang out with and Mike is one of those people!!!! What an awesome human being!!

Thank You Mike for not only showing spar importance. But also showing the rib's part in a safe wing loading. Attachments stress points. Every pilot should have to watch this and pass questions on every written test.

Mike, we know you really never doubted the SOLIDWORKS results, but it does make for a good bit of KZfaq drama right! We love having you as a customer and for all you and Mark do for general aviation. We're working on something big to announce at AirVenture to help GA that we think you're going to be excited about! We'll be in touch soon to get your feedback!

If i had professors like you in my engineering classes, I wouldn't have slept through most of them....

Im a science and STEM teacher, I have often shown kids Mike's stuff as inspiration, cool stuff but also an excellent example of scientific thinking. Mike you are right up there with people like Adam Savage in effective science communication. I'm envious of Savages workshop too but more envious of yours, but not as envious as I am of your skills. Always a pleasure.
