Do understand that, as been covered in the Forum before, the aircraft is almost certainly no longer approved for spins, therefore, no longer approved for aerobatics. The STC's available for engine conversions on that year/model require placarding against spins. The only exception would be a one-time approval on the conversion with specific reference to spin approval, which the FAA would not be expected to do in a million years. The Aerobat structure is stronger, which would be beneficial. Just be aware that it is 99% certain that it is no longer certified for aerobatics. Mike.
