You can do aerobatics in controlled airspace without a waver from the
director?

What in the world are you talking about? I was in an area where
sudden changes of flight is expected (practice area) I advised ATC in
the very beginning I would be making rapid altitude changes in the
practice area which I seriously doubt most other pilots would have
thought of doing. Your thoughts of wake turbulence is even further
out of wack as in my area, they don't send commercial traffic through
the practice area nor was anybody above me in the practice area..

Oh yeah, what defines aerobatics in your head? Please provide
references as I am below.

I called my local FSDO regarding my video. Aerobatics is NOT defined
by a number for pitch and roll. 91.303 Aerobatics are defined by
ABRUPT changes in pitch and roll, The word ABRUPT is subjective just
like reckless and carelessness. Unusual attitude in .303 is
subjective and again not defined by a degree of pitch or bank.

Practicing emergency maneuvers, commercial maneuvers or practicing
unusual attitudes (for IMC work or even stalls - think greater then 30
degree pitch) are NOT considered aerobatic per my FSDO. Don't believe
me, call your local FSDO equivelant.

30 degree pitch 60 bank refers to parachute requirements ONLY and
parachutes are ONLY required if I am carrying passengers (instructors
and crew are not considered passengers). 91.307 I confirmed this
with the FSDO so again if you don't believe me, call your local FSDO.
