Calculating load factor

Key Notes:
Ensuring proper balance around the Center of Gravity is vital for stability during sUAS flight.

Understanding load factors is crucial to avoid exceeding structural limits, preventing loss of control.

Load shifts can affect stability, emphasizing the need for caution.

Familiarity with calculating load factors during maneuvers is essential for staying within Part 107 limits.
