I hope that no one would fly a loop in a non-aerobatic aircraft; I suspect that 
to do so would risk breaking it.

I wrote my post in jest, really.  I spent this afternoon turning upside down in 
a Grob Tutor after having taught a student Stalling 2 (stalls on the approach 
or on the finals turn).  I taught her to fly a reasonable loop, an aileron roll 
and a barrel roll.  It was a great day for it . . .
