I want to do some recreational aerobatics in my -4 but would like to get some training first. I had a couple hours training in an Aerobat but that was many years ago. I have been searching the web for a good place to get some introductory aerobatic training. I have read through a few sites but would like to get some references.
Has anyone taken the Wayne Handley program?
Would training n an Extra be most like an RV, or is the airplane used for training important - ie would a Citabria work just as well? My concern here is the "slipperyness" of the RV compared to a Citabria or Super D. (Edit: I read one post that recommended the Decathalon over the Extra because it is slower through the maneuvers - makes sense)
My -4 has a CS prop; is it important that the training plane have a CS?
Does anyone have any recommendations for aerobatic training schools? I would be quite willing to go somewhere for a week of intensive training that I could follow up with practice at home.
What other criteria should I look for in choosing a training school or instructor?
