The fundamental laws of physics do _not_ impose any relevant limitations

the acceleration. However, particular designs may have limitations. I've
never done the experiment, but I'm told that if you mishandle the engine
controls on a P-51 Mustang at very low speeds you can lose control of the
yaw axis. (It's got a huge turbocharged engine, a huge propeller, and
only
modest amounts of rudder authority at low speeds.)
The student has little to worry about; nobody is going to turn him loose
in a P-51.
