This is an interesting thread. I will now publicly confess. Back in 1960, there were NO sources of aerobatic instruction. But every body did some. Some more than others. Plenty of WW2 vets around to describe maneuvers to a young feller. My first loop in my Aeronca 7A was solo with no prior dual. Easy. No heavy G's. Less G force than the spin recovery taught pre-solo by my CFI. (Piper J3). He taught me to neutralize rudder, continue stick back pressure against the stop. Guess it was almost 4 G. back to Level flight at no more than 80mph. He was prev a Embry Riddle Stearman instructor. I did more gentle recoverys when solo. Saw 95MPH recoverys.
My 1946 Luscombe 8A had a supplement to the "Flight Manual" (really a pamphlet) that gave details on the approved manuevers. Included snaps on top of a loop. BTW, Luscombe hor stab is installed on a tray like assembly attached by 4 #10 bolts. No known failures. Never did more than spins in her. These A/C were all cert in Utility cat(4.4 G's). 601XL is stressed for MORE G's at about the same GW as these 1946 trainers.
I am not considered a reckless pilot by my peers. I just came from a different time. I am a retired ATP with over 50 years of personal, military and commercial flying. I have a spotless record. The 601XL is a"sport plane". Get some instruction and do what you enjoy.
