That would be because you often had pylons on, BEagle. Therefore +7.2/-3.5.
Or are you talking about the way we taught the studes? 7g, but the set ups were a limiting factor there too.
Sustained, was a different matter, of course. Keep it above 400kts and down at 5000' and you could do it nearly all day. Below 350 and you could bleed energy quite quickly. So it will depend how the sustain g requirements are written. Of course all that is for a T1/1A - bigger engines make happier pilots.
