Bryan, can't you learn those maneuvers without getting a commercial

Of course you can but why bother? The maneuvers are and of themselves are
pretty useless. You might as well get credit for learning them.

One of the best things about flying is that you never stop learning.

I mean that in the kindest way.

rambunctious thing we ever do are "Up-Downs" (as the kids call them), which
is a firm pull up with a steady push-over at the top that induces negative

As others have sait: If there's no dirt floating around, you don't even
hit zero G, let alone negatives. I think you should go and take some
real acro lessons. (Actually, I think every pilot should!) It's fun and
it definitely makes you a better pilot. And you'll learn something about
the flight envelope. If I recollect correctly, your average spam can is
certified for something like +5.3 and -2.5 G at Va. Ask your acro
instructor to demonstrate those loads. You'll be surprized! (Not sure
whether you'll like it.)
