In a 30 year old airplane, you shouldn't be doing 8+. Thats
why most of us here have voluntarily lowered them to 6+,
-3. My body can't do 8+. The viper was used in a military
light attack and trainer. So, Yes I would think it could if
someone was silly enough (or made a big enough mistake that
required 8+ to save your butt) to do 8 G's.

Can anyone advise of what engine exchanges have been done
to the L-29 and if they actually fly?
It strikes me as a huge job, but any extra power would be
nice as would be reduced fuel burn.
There was talk of fitting hydraulic brakes too, has any one
done this (it would reduce the dependance on air)?
The other thing that I notice is that the seats are very
massive and mine have been de-activated so they dont need to
be able to stand any more than 6G
Does anyone have an idea of weight of these things?
I used to have a Yak-52, before I went mad and bought an
L-29, by removing all the excess gear so I could use it for
day VFR only, I lost about 70kg, the plane flew better. The
buyer made me put it all back in.
The Yak seats were light and strong, and I was wondering how
much weig ht could be reduced apart from the pilot dieting.
Pete Taylors L-29 has no airbrakes and flys fine, I wondered
if you had an air system that only drives the seals, light
seats, most of the inverters gone etc etc, what would the
plane fly like?
I am sure that some of the people going to Reno have done
these things, any ideas what their weight loss is?
Many thanks
