Interested but old
I would be interested just to be better at the odd gentleman aero, I did a aerobatic course when a lot younger ( in a great lakes) but noticed when flying off the aerobatic maneuvers during phase 1 that I felt the G more than I remembered. I also noticed how quickly the RV accelerated when pointing straight down
The other factors I suspect is that I am fixed pitch, carburated, no inverted oil and no flop tube in the tank. Going over the top to keep it round I get low pressure fuel and oil warnings and the engine revs like the clappers going down.
I did the formation clinic recently and learned a lot so it would be good to be better and smoother and a good knife edge flight past the cameras would be great
No parachute.

I should mention here that the absence of a constant speed prop, inverted oil and fuel, nor fuel injection does NOT bar one from enjoying aerobatics even at the lower levels of competitive aerobatics. For those with a few bucks to spend that want to get serious about competition we can talk about where to spend those bucks to get the most out of your mount.

I'm interested. My aileron rolls and barrel rolls to the right are horrible. I do them much better to the left. Engine torque I guess??
