Ok i knew this may have incited a few responses like this, i was not trolling at all!

The Tommie is not placarded for anything other than flaps up spins, hence my question.

I would never-ever-ever perform any aerobatic maneuver in an aircraft unless it was in the right category and i had been instructed thoroughly in the maneuver.

I have chandelled and looped gliders before and i'm aware of what can go wrong with the maneuvers, i imagine the energy which could build up in a powered aircraft would be substantial enough to be structurally unwise :-)

I have flown the tommie as my primary aircraft in training and after my PPL and i know how quickly it can pick up speed!

Sincerely chaps i was not seeking advice for sneaky loops in a club aircraft

As usual some very helpful and informative replies- and if you watch that Iron Eagle Vid you'll see the tommie nearly falls out of the sky at the bottom of the roll!
