Having never flown with a G-Meter before, but now having one built into the Dynon, I'm curious about how I might use it to determine when/if I need to use maneuvering speed. Previously, any time I flew through chop, I began to get nervous because I really didn't know how many g's that chop represented, so I was probably much more quick to go to Va than I really needed to be.
So, assuming the chop/turbulence is relative constant in degree, at what g-level reading would you go to Va? Or, more generally, how can I use the g-meter to manage my flight speeds? I'm asking this question from a RV-9 perspective where the load limits are +4.4/-2.2.
