Principles of flight, stick force & manoeuvre stability

Have a look at that question:

The manoeuvre stability of a large jet transport aeroplane is 280 N/g. What stick force is required, if the aeroplane is pulled to the limit manoeuvring load factor from a trimmed horizontal straight and steady flight? (cruise configuration)

I suppose that the limit manoeuvering load factor that wee need is 2,5.
Well at least with that load factor I get the right answer which is : 420 N

Could someone give us all the limit load factor we need to know for small and light aircraft, and for large transport jet that we need to know for the JAA ATPL exam ?

Thanks a lot
