I think one of my SICs did something like that coming off a seismic boat once. The boat did call and ask if we were ok.

please never let this man get his hands on a real one

Makes you wonder how many hundred times he broke it learning to fly it that way.
Must've spent a long time with super glue and lolly sticks that boy.
I'll bet action-man felt pretty sick after being subjected to all those G's. Impressive display though.

Interestingly, there are few g's in such maneuvers, because the speed is so low. I would bet little beyond 2 1/2 G is experienced in the aircraft!
A 20 foot raduis at 20 mph requires 2.5 g. At 10 mph, 2.5 g produces a 5 foot raduis turn.
