lots of 'em. You want to go to rec.aviation.homebuilt for some real info,
but it depends on how much $ you got and what you want to do with he
aiplane (sport competition, one or two seat, etc)
Probably the best beginners aerobatic airplane is the EAAs own Acrosport II

I see a lot of Acrosport IIs on Barnstormers for not a lot of money.
A low performance bipe like that makes a good first aerobatic trainer
because it will be easy enough to do the manuevers, yet difficult enough to
do them well, and a well built one should be just about unbreakable.

Wow Bertie,
You actually gave helpful information without cussing and
making an ass out of yourself. Are you back on the meds?

No-ope, always like this you're just too ****ing stupid to see through to

How does it compare to the ACA Decathelon ?

Never flown an Acrosport, but I did display in a Decathlon years ago. the
Decathlon is a good airplane, but for a beginner in aerobatics it's
probably not the best choice unless you're under a steady hand during the
initial, scary bits.
The Decathlon is relatively clean an the entry speeds for some manuevers
are fairly close to the redline. Biplanes are inherently stronger ( unless
the airplane is a piece of crap), but th eDecathlon will do in a pinch!
It's nto a kitplane or anything like one, of course! Even a good second
hand Decathlon wil set you back over fifty grand.
The Citabria even more so, but having said that they are both fine
airplanes, providing their spars haven't been damaged.

The choice of a bipe aerobatic airplane that you can build and the
ramifications involved with the decision on which aircraft to pick is a
subject way too complicated for a simple thread here on the forum.
Without knowing your skill levels both flying wise and as a builder, and
assuming you might be at the novice end of the scale (no offense
implied; just picking the best scenario from which to advise you)
A Pitts can be a real handful for a novice and some others like the
Skybolt can be a handful for a novice builder.
My recommendation would be to consult with EAA initially and possibly
consider building an AcroSport. Paul Poberezny designed this plane and
he did that with the novice builder in mind. The plans are written in
plain English and in easy to understand terms. A lot of beginning
builders have built the AcroSport and were happy with its performance.
I believe you can now build it with either the M6 or a symmetrical wing
if you like inverted stuff.
There are several engine choices as well depending on your pocketbook.
This is just a general answer for you of course, and my suggestion to
contact EAA is a sound one. For someone considering building a plane of
any kind, EAA is a priceless resource whose value can't be calculated.
Lots of luck whatever you do.
