RV8 aerobatic limitations

I've been interested in the Vans series of aircraft for some time, particulary the RV8. I know it is cleared for aerobatics, but I was wondering what this specifically entails. Is the aircraft limited to specific manoeuvres or is it dependent on what it is tested for? Admittedly it is quite extreme, but could one start doing inverted spins, flick rolls etc (with negative systems installed, of course)? Also, what's the roll rate, and G limits?

Cheers
