just curious as to how many positive and how many negative g's you
feel in an average competition areobatics preformance.

I just saw a show on the Wings channel ...
In an Extra 300
The female pilot said she does
9+ and 6-
at Oshkosh.

That;s probably PattyWagstaff. What she does is a bit out of the ordinary
for competition aerobatics.

I would be surprised if someone pulls more than 4.5 Gs positive and -3
negative for advanced competition, much less for Basic/Primary. I've only
flown basic and sportsman, and there I was pretty much only doing +3 Gs,
and -1 negative (upside down.)

Get suprised. We do not compete and we still hit +6 G's. I prefer not to
get much negitive though, only around 2G's. We exceed 4.5 in simple steep
turns.

After a bit of research I found out who it was.

"Northern Lights Aerobatics Team"

"Michele Thonney, 31, of Lausanne, Switzerland, the only woman flying in
a civilian aerobatic team."

A quote from a Northern Lights Aerobatics Team member
===========
Mario and his colleagues pull as much as 9.5 G's during the show. As
far as negative G's, or the stomach-churning sensation of feeling
yourself falling toward earth fast, tolerances are more limited. "In the
show we go between minus 4 and minus 5,' Mario explains. "By minus 5 it
hurts. I've never gone to minus ten and I don't intend to."

Just doing the Sportsman sequence, my G meter shows +6 / -1 when I'm
through.
