*Abrupt use of the controls is prohibited above 105 knots .
Aerobatics that may impose high loads should not be attempted.
T~e impo.rtant thi_ng to bear in mind in flight maneuvers is that the
airp~ane is clean m aerodynamic design and will build up speed quick-
ly with the nose down . Proper speed control is an essential require-
ment for execution of any maneuver, and care should always be exer-
cised to avoid excessive speed which in turn can impose excessive
loads . In the execution of all maneuvers, avoid abrupt use of controls.
Intentional spins with flaps extended are prohibited.
