With all the talk on the forum about high G load wing failures I thought it would good idea to do a little wing stress testing. I supported the wing with pillows and loaded 41 lbs on the center section to test positive and negative Gs of about seven. No problems. I never recall people having wing failures with foam wings in the olden days and apparently this wing is good to go. That’s a cluster of Georgia bricks and a bench vice in the picture.
