I'd always assumed that  since the FAR's define aerobatic flight as attitudes "not necessary for normal  flight" (as I recall, anything exceeding 60 degrees bank or 30 degrees pitch)  and a Cherokee isn't certified in the "aerobatic" category, that a loop would  therefore be illegal; is there some definition I'm missing?  Any sort of  weed that has better info please chime in...

      More on topic;  I've heard nobody's ever bailed out of an RV, but does anyone know of an  accident where someone tried?  My concern's always been either structural  failure (over G'ing the airplane accidently, or maybe a bird strike).  For  that matter, anyone know of a crash caused by structural failure aside from the  RV-8 demonstrator a few years ago?  My feeling has always been that was an  overload from too eager stick movement...
