TEST IT. The wing in flight carries its own weight
and sees as a load only the fuselage with everything in it, mainly the
pilot. That is the weight I used X 5.3 G's. The wing was assembled
upside down on saw-horses and some 2600# of sand was laid on, two bags
at a time working both wings together.

Out of pure curiosity, what spanwise load distribution did you use?
Elliptical or is there some other preferable distribution?
