That's a trick question... They don't as much bend, as shatter.

Depends upon the pre-existing Termite damage :axe:

Spit blades do bend, look closely at one on takeoff or high power climb and the tips will be slightly forward.

Having an engineering background, I do realize they are not infinitely stiff. A bent wooden blade is much harder to straighten though.

The TF-project grows. Some bodywork for the team, the doghouse will be buildt up new.

.... also some work at the Focke Wulf Fw190 A8/M WkNr 980554. Hope that they can fire up the engine next week

My favourite Yakovlev fighter, the Yak-3 D-FYGJ

Yak-3 D-FLUG ...... some minutes before they pushed the ship back into the shop. It needs some paintwork and some work at the electrical systems.
