To the engineers out there,
How will the Schertz Beam design hold up under aerobatic loads?

So far it is not designed for aerobatics. I would consider beefing it
up.

One could easily make it out of slightly thicker material which  would
up the strength enormously.   Also,  as Paul has pointed out,  it is
possible to run struts from the end housing  down to the beam.  I think
we can make it as strong as we want. Jerry
