So what are typical loadings (say in a Bulldog) for various aerobatic manoeuvres, and is there fun to be had for less than 2g?
Not loops, but aileron rolls should be OK (though not strictly an aeros manouvre, they are really 'cause you turn it upside down ). But beware the Barrell roll - almost no excessive G if done correctly, but quite a lot in the recovery if it goes a bit off (and they often do ).

Otherwise, wingovers.

Flying aeros means pulling 'G'.
