SNS3Guppy I total agree with your reply quoted below:
The manufacturer isn't going to take responsibility anyway...that should never be the criteria in determining how to act in the airplane. Staying within the certification and legal limitations of the airplane, and the conservative safety boundaries of the airplane should be the yardstick.
Hotdogging and cowboy flying has no place in the cockpit.
The point i was pushing with my original post was the manufacturer will not take responsiblity for trying such manoeuvrers where damage or loss of airframe are a result.
But of course, as you said, it comes down to the individual flying. The limtations are there to avoid damage/loss of airframe of the a/c and most importantly the life of the Pilot and Pax.
