Wondering the same thing, who owns this aircraft & who worked on it?

For those who don't know 'A' rivets are dead soft, AD's are pretty much the standard structural rivet.

That very thought came to mind with his first 'defensive posture' posting, I tend to believe there's some serious three legged cat in loose sand going on here.

@Rob.Brindley: Yes, it is, it was at MeierMotors, delivered to customer late last year.
@ZRX61: All I do know is, it belongs to a German customer (AFAIK), identity unknown so far (at least not common knowledge). You will not get any info who it is, if he doesn´t want to say so. Who worked on it? I´d like to know myself.
@all: Does it look like it was done like this during original production, or might it be some repair, or simply impossible to say by the pics alone? Just curious....

Are these Speed/G limits the maximum for these aircraft or just the limits for a particular flight testing phase?

Don't know about the Germans but in the UK for Warbirds you have some paperwork that gets approved and it states limits for speed and Gs. They are called Airworthiness Approval Notes.
Sample here for a Spitfire-

I suspect under the EASA rules which has become the standard for the European countries it is the same for German registered aircraft which lack a standard airworthiness certificate such as homebuilts and warbirds.

The document mentioned they had to add weight to the tail to get the correct CG, I think if they had put a book shelf in the unused radio rack and put in all the documents generated in this rebuild, they wouldn't have needed any lead at all.
