At the risk of stating the obvious, I want to mention that atmospheric drag can put you into a negative G situation just by throttling back far enough while still climbing. A draggy vehicle like the one JC is going to fly will decelerate very quickly in air. I suspect that he will have to throttle down very slowly to avoid starving the engines.
