Many years ago when I was a young sprog pilot with a mere 300 hours, I was number 5 pilot in a line astern formation in a S55. The lead pilot was flying near vne & made a 30 or more degree bank turn to the right. I blindly followed at No 5 & probably was past vne & at least 40 degrees of bank. A few seconds later I was about 50 degrees nose up & 60 degrees of bank in a left turn & increasing. Needless to say the sphincter muscles contracted. The S55 being a grand old lady, seemed to sort herself out & no harm was done but I made sure I didn't do that again.
So I can't recommend trying to get RBS or similar.
