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).

regards,
Terry Seaver
