No, no, no, no. I said the plane was capable of +9g’s - I didn’t say I flew it at that. You will tunnel out, black out, way before that without a g-suit. We only fly those things in regular flight suits. An no, Air Combat USA does not fly nor will they allow you to fly the full envelope. Again, I was simply stating that the plane can do +9, that’s all.

According to the FAA, the full envelope is +6/-3 G's. The FAA. They say the plane is not capable of +9.

and is FAA certified to +6 / -3 G's.

Anyway, you did say you got up to 9G's at times. I don't understand how the plane withstood that without bending the frame. Joke?

Just a point you made re: 9g's ... if you read it you'll know it wasn't all the time. You pull a turn trying to get inside the other pilot's turn you will pull up to that much.
