Negative G
I know that most fighter jets are enable to get only +9 ,-3 . My question is the speed for negative G is higher that positive one?
Time is @30seconds ,but max. speed is the same as for 9G maneuvers ? Because it is hard to get +9G's and easier to hit -3G's?

Also note that the LEF movement is not programmed for a lot of negative "G".
They only go 2° UP at max deflection for supersonic flight.
The max time (at least for the F-16AM/BM) negative G is 30 seconds in military power en 10 seconds in burner. Be aware that inverted and negative G are two separate things. You can fly inverted and still have positive G's, and upright and have negative G's. The pilot is also a factor in this situation, negative G's are a lot harder to handle than positive. So it might be the pilot who is the time limiting factor.

Good point Bouli.
Two quickies:
1) Early FLCS laws did not allow more than 1 neg gee below 140 knots. So a gear down dirty roll was a challenge, but not much as the gear limit speed was lots higher than that, and roll rates came into play.
It's easier to get to the neg 3 gee limiter than the plus 9 gee limiter due to the speed required.
2) The T-bird pass with one inverted is lways a joy to see. So #5 as lead rolls inverted just before rwy ( where I watch) and #6 camps out rel close for the pass. All in mil power.

Thanks , Gums for telling us about minimum speed rolls with To/ LG configuration .I guess it is still present today due to the max. travel up /down of the stabilators.
It was hard to keep a leveled position to the a/c with landing gear down ?
If just keep (at safe alt. but in To/L. and slow speed due to gear limitations) pushing the stick when upsidedown what's happens?In my Sim just roll out and noses down.It is. realistic enough ?
Salute!
Good grief, Saber!!
Just use the control laws and the aero data your model or sim jet is experiencing.
You know, AoA versus gee versus IAS ( CAS for purists). Oh yeah, once with Cat III laws we had rate limits and AoA limits not there for Block 1, 5 and early 10.
Your problem is lack of rate and gee sensors around the plane that all feed into the FLCS confusers. Maybe you should re-work your model.
