Does scraping the wing on the ground a lot on takeoff....

I don't think scraping the wing causes... damage over all - for example I bounce quite hard when I land, I never had landing gears shed off.... Now if you take off and forget to raise your landing gears they will shed off after you get some speed.
I do know if you bump a building doing 5mph it will shred a wing right off even if you barely touch the wingtip, few times I've taken off I've scrapped a few wings, hell I even had one spin me 90 degrees around.

Its a bit surprisingly that we don't have it modeled for damage, if you scrap a wingtip wouldn't it come off? or seriously damage the wing? I wouldn't think so since there are no major... systems int he wing tips, maybe a Spitfire with the outboard .303, but I dont
think it would be damaged by scraping wings.
my 2 cents

we have other stress noises that are not accompanied with damage.  gear, g forces, belly landings, midways 200 chatter.

No wonder one wing is always easier to tear off than the other.

just try it out for yourself slowly drag a wingtip along and see if it breaks off...TADA

If two of you care enough, really, take a spitfire and a jeep, turn off killshooter, and test it in a private arena.

I think I know why Skuzzy took a vacation now.
