Interesting take, it highlights exactly why EASA mandated auprt and what I've been trying to explain all along in this thread:
If you are clueless about upsets/increased/decreased g-loads etc.: a-uprt in a C172 or Katana is probably more than sufficient.
fyi; -1.76G in a C172? really? and seat of the pants is THE aerobatic tool.
Other than the C172 the often used cat U aircraft usually have less than -2G limit i.e. DA20 (-2.2), Pipistrel (-2.0). etc.
