The April '09 issue of "Sport Aerobatics" has an article about RV's and aerobatics. This magazine is the official publication of the International Aerobatic Club, which is a division of the EAA. The IAC realized that there are a BUNCH of RV's out there, and that a lot of those RV's don't spend all of their Hobbs time straight & level. Here's a link to the article:

If you've ever wanted to explore the full flight envelope that your RV has to offer, I have a couple of suggestions:
1. Find an experienced aerobatics instructor who has some RV experience, and get some quality acro instruction (Yes, it WILL make you a better pilot!);
2. Check out www.iac.org;
3. Have FUN!!!
If you've ever wanted to give competitive aerobatics a try, then I invite you to come to North Texas Regional Airport in Sherman, Tx. June 11-13, 2009 for the Lone Star Aerobatic Contest. Come compete, or just fly in and hang out - It's gonna be a blast!
