What are the kit or plans built planes that people use for aerobatics?
What kind of aerobatics do you want to do? Simple loop/roll kind of
maneuvers? Harder stuff like gyroscopic maneuvers?
Do you need cross country ability (say 150 mph cruise with at least one
passenger and bags)?
There is a full spectrum of options out there. For a good compromise
aircraft that loops and rolls well and offers good cross country ability,
the RV series is hard to beat. If your need is more biased towards hard
acro, Pitts and One Designs are very capable. If you want to learn acro,
there are several good choices listed elsewhere in the thread.
Not to mention the question that I hope you have asked yourself - but many
don't.
Do you want to fly or do you want to build?
If you want to fly and save a few bucks, by a used homebuilt. If you _want_
to build, great. Forget that I said anything.
Finding a "project" can save you some time if you just want to do "some"
building. But remember - a project that is 90% complete still has about 50%
of the work left to do ;-)
