I was asked several times about the g forces during my first flight in my KR-2 on March 23, 2013. Contributing factors of pilot inexperience and a control malfunction resulted in damage to the nose gear on landing. The Dynon D10A recorded maximum of +1.7 g and minimum of +0.3 g. Exactly when these peaks occurred is unknown. My guess: the peaks occurred during take-off when I was struggling to regain control of the aircraft immediately after the trim tab failure. Aerobatic maneuvers under 50 feet AGL are definitely not recommended, especially during first flight.
