In gliders you are limited to 1/3 control inputs above Va, so are taught to accept g over speed in spin recovery.

Does that 3g rotor limit apply only to centred cyclic? I imagine there would be limits on mast bearings, if not mast itself, for say roll inputs. Not that i'm advocating trying any kind of hard manouvre in a teetering heli!
