A quick search on google found this dumbed down explanation of why it's
probably not a good idea to roll or loop a 747:

Here's the great video of the 707 doing a roll as part of an impromptu
promotional scheme:

Thanks. I am enjoying most of them.

Now why not go try looping and rolling the 747 or 777 in FS2004? Can't
hurt!


And please make a video of it.










Maybe start on the ground and then use the Map mode to give
yourself a lot of altitude (but not too much because you want good air
density) - Say, 18,000' and 300 kts.

Best,
