Mooney drops into my backyard

Provided you don't exceed the bank and pitch limits for normal flight putting
you in the acrobatic category. IIRC, it is 60 deg bank and 30 deg pitch.

There is nothing illegal or unsafe about doing stalls with pax in the
rear seats. The airplane was certified doing stalls at the aft CG limit.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

You'd have to make sure you stay out of the utility category, since only
normal category in my Warrior allows backseat passengers or baggage.

Actually, I had remembered that intentional stalls were in the utility
category, but a quick glance at my POH showed me that I was mistaken.
Thanks to Dale for the clarification and to Ray for the extra comment.


All the best,
