Aerobatic instruction
I need recommendations for aerobatic instructors in or near Louisiana. I'm a beginner with parachute. John

IAC
The IAC just ran a 50% off membership deal, it may still be going on. Good organization with lots of good info and contacts.

You didn't say, but if you are planning to do acro training in an RV, make sure the person you use is in fact RV familiar. I.e., making sure they really have flown RVs, not outright lying or exaggerating their experience base. Have seen this happen before.

I feel like this should be followed by a pretty good story...

Why don't you check with Team Aerodynamix?
Since you already have a license, your acro instructor doesn't need to be a CFI and they don't need to sign your log book but because they have their Commercial ticket they can accept payment.
Search for Ron Schreck, sometime in the past year he was putting together an RV based Acro class.

Not really. No bent metal resulted. Just know of instances where people have heavily embellished their experience base in order to get their foot in the door in various situations. It's one thing to enhance the experience base to ferry a plane or sit in the right seat for a leg. But another to go "teach" someone acro in a slippery plane that can have it's wings removed relatively easily.

Thanks Bill and Bryan. It's surprising how few acro teachers there are in this area. Several used to but are no longer active. I guess a shortage of suitable planes for instruction is the issue. John
