Nope.
The Dakota could actually take quite a bit. and 1.5 G is BTW only a routine swing on a fishing boat.

(I did actually explore this while working as a cok on a trawler. Try weighting the ingredients on a bread when the swing is 2G's. Serious!!!)
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

An empty Lancaster could in RL do a loop. Also in AH.
