Yes, I have seen various aircraft being spun, or doing aerobatics, that are not certified for it. I am not sure of the legalities. Is it an offence under the ANO or whatever?

I remember discussing this with an experienced engineer. His answer was that there are a lot of light aircraft that are not certified for spinning, but this is not for the obvious reasons, such as the airframe would be overstressed, or the wings drop off etc.

The reason is, that they will spin very well, with no harm to the airframe, BUT, they are extremely difficult to get out of a spin
