Message Nearly all turns in an aircraft are positive g through the "floor", so the engine would not see lateral g, unless the pilot were flying uncoordinated turns.

If he were doing acro, then zero to negative g could be encountered, as well as some lateral forces. I can only imagine this would be bad for the VG engine.

It was built as a Reno racer (think NASCAR in the air), so acro probably wasn't part of the design spec.
