No true. Read post #10 on this thread. If the radius of the loop is large enough with respect to airspeed, to make loop round the wing has to provide lift up away from the center of the loop through the top of the loop. That's because gravity is providing a greater force that the centrifugal acceleration and in the opposite direction.
