30-40g is kinda high.

What is the usual radius of a pylon turn and what speeds are we talking about? about?
170 to 190 depending on racing class. 75 foot radius for a loose turn and as little as 50 in a overly tight turn. Simple physics. Throw in gust loading on top of it and you can see why some wings need to be strong enough to stand on.
