The aerobatic flight routines should have been on the edge of RBS given the loading on the disc to produce 3G and do hover to hover back flips but I don't think anyone even came close.

Now helicopters have such high VNE compared to Whirlwind the boundary is probaly much further away in normal useage.
Someone gets my gist. Thanks Crab.
