Thank you very much. The video could have been in better light to show the 'panel.
Originally when the a/c was on a CofA the G limits were +6-4. Now they are on a Permit to Fly it has been reduced to +4-2.
This practice session was at my lowest altitude yet. Ground level here is about 75ft amsl, the altimeter is set at QNH, so my lowest height above ground is about 600ft.
Very nice video!
what is the G limitation of the tipsy nipper?

I think you will find that the Nipper was stressed for +6 -3 max G limits.
This means that the "ultimate" stress design is +9 -4.5. Structural damage can be expected at these figures.
In older a/c, conceivably -3 could cause structural damage. That is why the PFA (LAA) have reduced the allowable limits.
Be careful !!
