I'd really like to see a Wöhler diagram for both wooden composite and aluminum spar of equal terminal strength...

So, now I was can support more correctly my claim about wood and metal construction difference. I was find in the Internet the reference book by plane calculation on strength. This book is in Russian ( I was hope you can translate it
) printed at 1954 the state publishing house of the defensive industry, Moscow and called "Plane calculation on strength". Here is a link to this book
http://www.vokb-la.spb.ru/contents/46/index.html . Book included tons of formulas for plane metal and wood constructions calculation and have a strength tables of different materials used in aviation industry. Of course all this formulas isn't real using in game, but may be you can find here some interesting features, what can be included in future patches. And thank DT for yours fantastic work.
