Thats great Michael. That looks like way more fun than collecting aircraft and performance data for phase one.
Wow 4G pullup for the loop. For loops I normally aim for 130kts entry then 3G for the pullup.
Looks like a similar routine to my first recorded Sonex aerobatics a few hundred miles up the coast. Search sonex loops and rolls on youtube.
With the spins. I asked my aerobatic instructor about spins and he told me (here in Aus) that spinning is an aircraft specific endorsement and not part of the aerobatic endorsement. He told me I am legally endorsed to intentionally spin decathlons only.
