I think the program is quite precise and correct in the calculation but not being made to take into consideration high G-loads maneuver and flutter we have to introduce kind of safety margin or ''k'' factor like a multiplier? Maybe 1,5 or 2 could give a good safe margin!
In post #3 of this thread Oli suggests 30% safety factor. I use 50%.
