Narrative:

The aircraft is an experimental extra 230 aerobatic aircraft. Work was being done on the aileron spades. During a test flight I flew northwest of frankfort and performed some aerobatics to test the spades. I may have been within 5 mi of a victor airway that passes over the field. Altitude was 1500 ft AGL or above at all times.
