How strong do UAV wings need to be?

Hi Guys,

 

 

I was reading a spec for a commercial UAV and it stated that the design was capable of +/- 6G. I also noted that some catapault launchers generate a 15G load on launching.

 

Does anybody have an idea of the kind of G forces you see in hobby UAV flying? I was wondering what kind of loads the foam wings could take. Do you think a 6G loading on the wings necessitates making wings from carbon fibre or similar?
