I attached a picture of an early loadtest with Lance.
Below pictures of my loadtest to 4.4g. I added 2.300kg in total on the wings and 750kg on the engine mount.
The wings deflected by 10 cm. This Loadtest have to be done on every Lancair in Austria and Germany.
The airframe and wings made some "noise" , but everything seems to be very strong...
 
Dan:
Are there any documents available of this ~15g loadtest?
 
I also added the gross weight increase from Lancair for the 360
 
Christian
LNC 360/390 95%
 
 
Lancair later raised the "suggested" max gross weight to 1800 but, if I remember correctly, kept the landing max weight at 1685.  These things were documented in Lancair  
Factory   newsletters that may be available at the www.Lancaironline.net site (Marv?).
It is interesting that Lancair's ultimate load limit is 2 times the max G when the usual STC's planes use 1.5 times.  In any event,
(1685/1800)x4.5G=4.2G, still a pretty good max G load limit.
