I was told you shouldn't do stall turns ("hammerheads" for those over the
pond) with a stabilator, either - in case of a tail-slide which would just
snap it off...

Under U.S. rules any amateur built is aerobatic, if the manufacturer
(builder) so determines, and Europa tested the wing to sufficient
G's. But no inverted oil or fuel, and I wonder about the landing gear
frame/engine mount. Just don't seem that thin tubing and AN-3 bolts
through plastic will take too many snap rolls. Might, but at least
Ferg and I will await reports from others. :-)
Best,
Fred
