Default How Much Load for a Load Test?

So, I'm flying along in flight and I roll inverted and pull through to the
vertical. The ground's coming up fast and I pull to recover. The wing's
weight is towards the nose. How hard can I pull? If I designed to this
criteria I can't pull four Gs. I didn't test to four Gs. Why do you call
this a four G wing?

I am, of course, wrong here. The discussion is about testing with the wing
mounted upside down in a fixture so the wing weight would be credited as
part of the lift.
