I am not necessarily saying you aren't competent to do this, I just am not going to take on the risk for what in the long run is very little reward.

Not to toot my own horn too much but, I have great natural piloting instincts and aerobatics come naturally to me. I had no restrictions from my CFI in my logbook in regards to the repeat cross countries, just maintain VFR.

I'm amazed at how restrictive most flight schools and most CFIs are regarding the conditions that they will let a student fly in. How are you going to learn and gain experience in marginal conditions unless you go out and experience it first hand?
