Default RE: How many G's ????

Here's some G data from one of Tam's Viperjets taken in 2003. About a 600ft diameter loop, entry at ~180 mph IAS. About 8 g's on the initial pull and 7 on the bottom of the loop. G's relaxed to around 3 at the top. V^2/R gives you a reasonable indication of g's if you were flying a constant radius and velocity.
