We're all trained to react instantly to the sound of the engine cutting out, because otherwise you can find yourself flying a very expensive glider. This reaction is what is causing some people to underestimate the effect of the orifice.

If you pull neg G in a later Mk.V you'll hear the standard engine splutter and lose power, If you keep on pulling you'll find that after half a second or so the engine springs back to life and you can carry on pulling neg G with no ill effects.

Since most of us react so quickly to the engine warning, many people aren't waiting long enough to see the effect.

Good point and well said, mate.
