I was out yesterday checking on something (6a) and turb mod to above moderate. I took her up to 180smh and she was kicking pretty hard. I slowed her but I think she is built to take it better than I am, In my Cherokee days, we were taught to keep at man spd in bad turb. I was watching my g meter and it wasnt moving nuch. Whaddaya think? Charlie heathco

The definition of maneuvering speed hasn't changed. It applies to RV's just like any other aircraft. It's protection from the extremes so when to apply it is still subjective.

I think that G-meter movement was well damped and may not have indicated the true peak G-loads.

About what Charlie? What would you like us to comment on? Your broken G-meter? Whether or not you should remove the wings and inspect? What would you like to know or for us to comment on?

I have a question Mike, et al. If someone were unwise enough to fly
above maneuvering speed in moderate turbulence, and they thought there
may have been some damage, how would you go about inspecting the main
spar for damage? Other than if they are still straight, are there
any tests for aluminum that could check for damage? I don't recall
any, so was just wondering. Not that I ever want to really need to
find out. . . . :-0

In the 6 that would be hard to do.
My 2 cents would be that without visible deformation, there would be no need to inspect the wing from the root outboard.
>From the wing root to the inboard spar abutment, one could look at rivet deformation, bolt deformation, and spar laminates for clues.

From past reading, a really good sign is wrinkles in the skin. I would also call Van's to see at what G load the wing will bend and stay bent. I beleive at 7~8 G's things start getting serious.
