It's no rumor. They do not wear g-suits for the above stated reasons.

I pulled 7G's in a Marchetti until I passed out. No G-suit. It was fun as hell.

I am guessing you were not "pilot in command" at the time.

<--- 5-6gs every week in a simple 'ol Super Decathlon. Good times.

*edit* Like Turbineguy states; there is no way they would use g-suits in those aerobatic aircraft. The support equipment alone would add significant weight to the aircraft.
