Interesting - in the sim does it 'float' over the top, i.e. even without the test data does it 'feel' correct? (dunno if you are an aeros pilot).
With regards to G load, I read one proposition which was that, if anything is going to go, it would be engine mounts first as they ought to be first point of failure vs. the wings.
Sorry if this is a bit spotter-ish but the debate is lots of fun.
