I meant to question if any G-Loading considerations were given to the lower wing skins.

Soooooo.......  Has any consideration been given to the prohibition in the POH against doing aerobatics with fuel in the wings?  What are those lower spar caps designed to handle?  What are folks without header tanks to consider their G-limit to be?  I have heard of one LNC2 coming apart in flight.
