K21, aerobatics and spinn weight

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to find some information regarding flying
aerobatic with a K21 with the spinn weight attached.

The plot is to use a K-21 to fly the sportsman and
intermediate aerobatic programs issued by IAC. But
both of these programs include spinns.

Is it OK to fly a full aerobatic program with the K21
having the spinn weights attached to the tail boom?

I might be blind, but I could not find any information
regarding this topic in the flight manual. Did I miss
anything?

Best Regards

Not according to the addendum page for flying with spin weights - only
spins are allowed.

You may want to contact Schleicher for the proper guidance on this.

I've seen both: One Handbook forbids aerobatics with tail weight (which
makes absolutely no sense), the other allows it (or rather just doesn't
mention it.) Many people do it.

This is never a bad idea.
