Budget for Aerobatic aircraft

just reading with interest and must point out that the wear and tear on a regularly used aerobatic aircraft will be substantially higher than that of a straight and level example.

As you must already be aware the maintenance should be second to none as your life will be hanging in the straps so to speak. Are you doing more hours aero's with a flying club aircraft currently that you have worked out its more cost effective to own your own? If its not then I would be sorely tempted to leave the costs and hassle of maintaining an aero machine to the flying clubs and just pay an hourly rate.
