Thanks for that..... !! I remember the +4.4 g limit for the things I flew, with a fail limit of 150%, equating to +6.6 g.

I would very strongly dissuade anyone from trying to fly a sustained +6 g descending max rate turn on the buffet nibble in a Cessna 'Aerobat' though!

Even if the aircraft could manage it, the pilot would probably lose consciousness quite quickly. Not something you would want to happen in a descending max rate turn.....

Beagle and rapiddescent, we mere mortals are on a lower plane than you chaps
Nope - we're all equals!
