Until recently I was flying a 152 Aerobat.  (The FBO sold it.)  Over the
last few years I did inumerable loops.  Once I pulled 4 1/4 G's during
the pull-out.  I would call this farily abrupt.  I have never noticed
any behavior that I would attribute to a stall.

However, I should also add that I do not do 'textbook' loops.  They are
elongated on the back side, so that the plane has considerably more speed
when pullup is initiated.  This may explain the absence of stall
at 4 1/4 G's.  If I still had access to the Aerobat, I'd try it for ou
at slower speeds.
