Keywords: test, in flight, measurement, bending moment, fatigue

The goal of measurement was to set curves of bending moment on the wing of a small aircraft and establishing of the strain in dependence on a flight conditions. The results were used for design of the fatigue test of the connection between the center wing and outer wing.
