Regarding the bravado on the Varga Kachina being stressed for 6 G's you might want to check the aircraft certification data. (Hint: this data is on the sheet of paper that consitutes the POH for the Varga; should be in the aircraft)
In the Normal catagory it's +3.8 Gs and for the Utility catagory it's +4.4 Gs; not 6 Gs. Seeing as how you are carrying passangers during your "dog fights" you will most likely be in the Normal catagory and pulling your 3 Gs is putting you near the designed certification load factor.
Let's hope your mechanic actually does a torque check of the 4 bolts that holds each wing on that 30 year old airplane, during the annual inspection.
