I'd think that -2 G is all you'd get at 110 knots, as long as above the minimum flight weight (just had a thread on that). With positive camber of the wing, this means the wing is capable of more lift "up" than "down". So at 110 knots you'd get more positive G than negative G. Although the allowable travel of the elevator may affect this too. A symetrical airfoil, elevator, and same available travel up or down would mean same G positive or negative for same speed. May be some other factors too.
