I have started to thumb throguh that forum that you linked, http://s1.zetaboards.com/pumpitout/topic/3611382/3/

'Can you see modifications in terms of increased amount of Vortex Generators? Flutter mods? Increased control surface "throw" - from a youtube video? Do you even know what any of this means?'
This sounds like this is a whirlwind of technical bable thats not really applicable. In regards to Vortex Generators, I was understandable that they were important for low speed control and reducing stalling speed, by creating turbulent flow over the wings, thus delaying flow seperation
The Chieftan has vortex generators and they are like little shards of metal that someone has stuck haphazadly to the inboard wing area. Flutter mods i can understand how they could improve controllability at high speeds...
but ive never heard Increased control surface "throw"??? If anything increase the control surface throw would actually increase aerodynamically forces and cause aileron reversal?, correct.
None of these mods would 1 be visible from any quality of video from afar
and wouldn't really make the plane suddenly be able to fly outside the published limits (compared to a normal 767).. The only way that i could think this could actually be done was by reinforcing the actual structure of the airframe, (which is even said than done.)
Or have i just read this statement completely incorectly and applied dodgy 'basic' aerodynamics.'
Where can i find a refutation to the 11.2g on P4T
