How many g's are required for the "gentlemen's" ACM routinely flown

In the T-34 accident last year, a video recording showed the aircraft
on the INSIDE of the turn (the one that didn't lose a wing) pulling 5
gees - in a turn. I have no idea what is required - but 5 gees with a
rolling component is excessive.

Saying and doing are two different animals. Since you seem
to give some import to this comment, how many g's did the
'student' apply as a result of the comment - asymmetric
or symmetric?

Enough to pull the wing off.

Dance around this all you want - these weekend warrior operations
account for a minority of the flight time of T-34's, but they account
for 100% of the lost wings. It's not the airplane - it's the
operation.
