I believe in Canada you need to demonstrate the manoeuvers that you wish 
to perform to a Transport Canada representative... I don't think MD-RA 
has anything to do with Aerobatic certifications.  Van has already 
published that the airframes are +6/-4G design, which meets the Canadian 
requirements for aerobatics.

Strictly speaking, you only need to demonstrate a loop, a roll, and a 
spin, as all other manoeuvers are just combinations thereof.
