Here in the US we were told by the FAA inspector that aerobatics would
be allowed in our plane if they were flown (demonstrated) during the 40
hour restriction fly-off, and list the maneuvers flown (with the
associated entry speeds) in the aircraft log book. XS monowheel N135TD
is therefore legal for spins, loops, rolls, and wing-overs. In the
absense of inverted oil and fuel systems, we chose not to fly hammer
heads with our Europa, due to the possibility of tail slides if the
engine quit near the top (too bad, hammer heads are one of my favorites).
