From these figures you can see that it would be touch and go if you
rolled the bird inverted. Of course the figures given are not ultimate

But you'd have to really blow an aileron roll to pull enough negative
G to even reach the limit, let alone exceed it. So I dispute the
assertion that 99 times out of 100, you'd overstress a C172 doing
an aileron roll!

On a 172,. I'd do a barrel roll in the bird but not a slow roll or
aileron roll .Either would over stress the bird 99 times out of a
hundred.
