Draining E - Inverted or Upright?

Will you drain E faster while doing loops inverted than 'normal' loops?
(so you'll pull positive instead of negative G's)

Not sure if it depends on different aircraft though.

Yes but you can only do half as many neg gee's as you can positive.

So its really not going to help a whole lot.
