The KR has very good structural integrity, as everyone well knows. However, when we hear of someone doing a 6g pullup, it does not usually refer to a quick jerk of the stick, which can pull the wings off most aircraft, and has in the case of early Bxxxxxxxts. You rightly point out the twisting of the longitudinal axis which is called flutter along this axis usually tested between the cockpit and the tail. Refer to Lancair Ground Vibration Testing along this axis for a more complete explanation.
