Check out same in build log.... 60 mph Never exceed speed Limit Load test per FAA Glider Criteria. Interesting the CD for the spec. from Glider Criteria is over 2, (see spread sheet) recent posting had CD of this type of spoiler at 1.38 (I think that is what it said.)

As a novice stress man I feel it is imperative to load test my creations to a recognized specification. Nothing bent,.....not sure how the list might view it.
