Just happened to come across this in a book:
In 2002, James M. Patton got a job by an operator of several Stearmans who wanted to remove the restriction on spins for that STC on the bigger engine installation. He flew 255 spin turns in the test program for the FAA.
"And soon thereafter, the "no spins" placard was gone."
