In article 402c2ade$1@darkstar,

Instant retraction. I just checked part 91. Still need
1000 ft above for VFR in G during day. And no IFR
aerobatics are permitted (that seems fairly non-controversial).

So spinning down to cloud level when above 1200 ft should be
illegal without a waiver (although if done certain ways,
I could see it being safe).

Chinese wise man say: check reg first, then post to newsgroup

I would be reading this with a superior grin if I hadn't come so close
to making the same error myself! These winter threads can be a good
excercise.

In my defense, it is a pretty obscure question. As far as
I recall, I've never been in any G above 1200 AGL near clouds,
so had never thought about this before...

Well, it ain't so important to us US folk anyway, since
from what I hear we don't do anything close to the
cloud flying they do in the UK. And after all the
post was just for the UK 800 ft AGL spin alternative
anyway

Sure do love the UK-US banter...makes me want to
go overseas for some wit and some wenches...er. winches...
