Having landed going backwards over the ground in rapidly changing very bad conditions with steady wind 70% above stall and gusting well above that, on my 3rd landing attempt when a gust came around my left side and blew me 30' off the runway, entered a 30 degree bank trying to recover when the gust continued to come around behind and stalled me at 8' AGL. I can tell you that the wings provide a parachute effect. Mike's 30+ inches in a dead drop without wings is HUGE. The impact energy goes up nearly as the square of the height, so twice the FAA requirement is about 4 X the loading! BTW: wind did more damage to my plane getting it back in the hanger than the landing did....took 4 full days to replace bent and broken parts and back flying.

@@tomcoryell NO BS... I had 3 windows blown out last Saturday and damage to my T hanger door latches with 70+mph wind gusts. High plains hurricanes? The 8 foot drop landing described above was in 2008 but I have flown backwards in high winds within the last 2 weeks. I fly from my 1800' grass strip on my ranch here in Wyoming in an ultralight plane with a stall speed below 20mph. A fairly high percentage of landings are with winds >50% of my stall speed. Landings in winds up to my ground effect stall speed are no problem but require some special technics.

@Justin.S - You beat me to it. I was definitely concentrating on the engine mounts during the drop tests as that huge heavy engine and massive prop hanging out there on the end of a small-diameter-tubing braced cantilever structure seems to me to be the area most susceptible to being overstressed. This includes the possibility of at least a bit of permanent deformation. I'm sure 'eagle eyes' Mike will inspect it properly as nothing gets by him, but WOW that waay over the top max-height drop test was a HUGE pucker factor!
