the following a godd attempt at SWAG.(shit wild ass guess)

To blame EVERY in flight break up on pilot error is reprehensible.
The general consensus that I picked up on this list is that the
ULTIMATE load for this air craft should now be three G's. Even the
most ardent supporters (those that vote "1") make frequent remarks
such as "He did a 3 G pull up and the wing failed." Following the
crowd, I suggest that the new Matronics consensus limitation (3G
ultimate) be observed.
That would make the new normal load = 2 G. That means that the Vn
diagram must be redrawn. A new Va would result. Furthermore, tried
and true flutter mitigation measures are invalid. FAR 23.629 is
junk. If so, is AC 43.13b also? Bernoulli is dead. Consensus rules!
What do I know, I'm just a washed up ancient aviator that hangs out
with retired aerodynamicists and old AI's? I must follow the herd.

THE FACTS;
Manauvering speed and max G load changes with certain variables, gross weight, speed, temperature outside, Pressure Altitude
on a standard temp day, if you fly the plane at full gross, you will exceed design loads below the max manauavering speeds.
The standard design model has a given Max G load for a given weight and speed. Change the variables such as described above will yield a SNAFU situation.
I have looped the plane and done 4 G pulls, provided I had only 10 gallons of gas (60lbs) and only me in the plane(220 lbs). To do the same with two guys and full fuel would be stupid.
That is what some of the guys flying the 601 just do not get. Not even a stunt pilot flying an EXTRA 300 loaded for 10 Gs would do stunts in a fully loaded aircraft, and that is what those planes are desinged for.
So ignore the BullS___t statements. Fly the plane within the specs, fly a well maintained plane, and you will be fine.
DO you fly at 130 mph on a hot day with nasty thermals and convection goin on? Only the dip shits will. Regardless of the plane flown.

Actually SWAG is "Scientific Wild Ass Guess"

Yes, in some parts of the country the two words are sometimes confused.
By the way, at max maneuvering speed, an abrupt maneuver will match, not
exceed, the design loads. At lighter weights the maneuvering speed is
lower.
