High wing loadings on Alpha's

Similiar question to that one found in the stilletto post. Does anyone know how high is too high to load an Alpha?

Icarus Alpha's (rare) are something else though..I'm not sure about those.
Jim Slaton may have loaded an Alpha at 2.2.

are you asking about an Atair alpha (label may read skydepot or winchester) or and icarus alpha?
Atair Alpha: jim slaton jumped his progressively loading up with weights to over 3.4#/'
best performance for swoop distance is around 2.2-2.4 . they have routinely be jumped at higher wing loadings but swoop distance suffers.
hope that helps.
