Hi Pete,
Thanks for the info, I printed it off. It looks i was misinformed and Fergus is
right. Mind you, the handbook calls for a placard of 'intentional spins
prohibited'.
Cheers, Karl

Ferg,
Not sure about regulations in the States but both in the UK and Canada
theEuropa must be placarded with AEROBATIC MANEUVERS PROHIBITED. Has
nothing to do with inspectors on the ground.

"p.s. the Europa is not certified to do aerobatics, although some pilots
do
the standard positive g maneuvers like rolls and loops, but only when
no-one
is looking."
That may be true in Karl's parish, but does not apply in other counties.
In
some you can qualify for simple aerobatics by demonstrating before a
qualified inspector. Some are content to watch from the ground.
