Ask an aerobatic pilot if you don't want to take my

it is always better to exceed the g-limits than to
exceed VNE, and that you should NEVER open the airbrakes
in an attempt to limit speed, because it has such a
small effect on drag and such a huge effect on the
g-limits.


Didn't you mean to say "it is always better to exceed VNE
than to exceed the g-limits"?
