Hi Fuji,
I am not allergic to aerobatics and yes I have flown aeros in the past.
It was a lot of fun turning the aircraft upside down on a sunny day and I can fully understand why people desire to spend time inverted and feeling Gs although I do not make a habit of it myself.

Nowadays most of my flying is point-to-point and is more about getting there quickly and safely in most weather.

In fact, most of the 300 or so hours I accumulate per annum are through hand flying (half in a helicopter) - so I am not dismissing skills that I do not have - I'm merely stating my point of view

Fly safely,
SB
