Do you mean “the FAA can ask me, as a regular plane operator, who has nothing to do with the manufacturer, to demonstrate capabilities of the plane”? Can some FAA guy come to me if I am an amateur pilot, and ask me to demonstrate that my plane is capable of aerobatics, just because it is able to by registration?

If you make any sort of modification or repair to it they could technically recertify it and ask you to demonstrate the required capabilities. This is highly unlikely, but that's why I'm stating that it's technically possible. "Can some FAA guy come to me if I am an amateur pilot, and ask me to demonstrate that my plane is capable of aerobatics, just because it is able to by registration?" Is it required to by registration? If it is required and if the plane needed to be certified or recertified, then yes, the plane would need to demonstrate that capability (you could hire a pilot if you don't have the training).
