There ll be some kind of reference where i ll known about my aircraft limits? Thank you!

Were many WWII Japanese aircraft of wooden construction?
In any case, aircraft are designed to known G limits, and I know of no evidence that these G limits were typically different for wooden aircraft than for metal ones of a similar type. Ideally, TD should probably work with the known G limits for a type, but this may not always be available. Where they aren't, suggesting that 'it's wooden, so it must be weaker' is based on a dubious premise at best.
