Default EZ-Akro?

Hi,

I have no aeronautical engineering knowledge, maybe that's why I am so
stupid to ask this question. The other day when I read some Long-EZ
tech info and checked out a local EZ project, I know EZ's wing can
easily sustain over 6G loading or much more though no formal stress
test was done, and the whole wing, particularly the spar construction,
is really designed for homebuilders, I mean, no special tools and
skills are required.

So here's my question: Since the EZ's wing construction is so strong,
and easy and cheap to build, why not adapt the wing construction
technique to an acrobatic monoplane design so we can have a low-cost
and high performance plan-built acro plane? I know there must be lots
of engineering study to be done if the EZ wing construction is to be
transplanted to a conventional airplane, but is this idea possible?
