Well,



It has already been said, but let's take it from another angle.



There are only three bad things that can happen doing aerobatics, generally.



1. you hit the ground.



2. you rip the wings off and then hit the ground.



3. you unload the wings by entering a spin, then hit the ground.



As you can see, there's a common denominator here. In spite of the many

great stories of self learners as far as I know an instructor is one of the

best ways to learn how to avoid the above without killing yourself.



Disorientation and not following the plan is what causes the first. And

blowing a manuver is what causes the second and third. So I would recommend

you use an instructor to learn how to plan, how to reduce disorientation,

how to avoid the second and how avoid and recover from the third while being

totally disoriented and at any attitude.



Then learn how to do a roll.



I would also suggest you do this in a plane that has been fully vetted for

the intended manuvers.



As well you can probably see that the above applies to any form of flying so

this instruction is not just for the joy of doing aerobatics, it will make

you a safer pilot.



And finally, Duane Cole's book "Roll around a point" was a good read but I

must qualify that it was not the end all of teaching one on how to do a

roll.

I forgot if Vans put it in the plans or if I saw it in the  rvator but 

he explains how to do simple aerobatics in your rv.

In the builder's manual, allowed maneuvers, entry speeds, etc. are listed.



In an RVator 2-3 years ago, he went into the subject of self taught 

aerobatics.  The gist of the article was "It isn't recommended, but since 

you're gonna do it anyway, here's some advice to reduce your chances of 

getting killed."
