Does anyone know if it is safe, assuming you are properly trained in aerobatics,
to perform loops, rolls and inverted flying in a 1-26E?
Glider is rated at +5.3 -3.3 Gs


Loops are fine but it takes a lot of time (and altitude) to build up sufficient speed. I would not do inverted flight because you don't know what's going to come up from below the floor boards. When I did an acro course, everything in your pockets was locked away before the flight. If anything was ever dropped in the aircraft, you did not fly until it was found.
