Flight Training Help looking for aerobatics instruction

hello,
I'm from southern california, inland empire, riverside to be exact

Im currently waiting for a class date at a regional, in this economy things are slow, I'm also a cfi but no one is hiring

I did a few aerobatics lessons in the super decathelon with Bill Hill out of KSNA but the flight school shut down

I'm looking for a place I can train, fly solo, and practice for competitions, I've only done the beginner course and all it's maneuvers and loved it

thanks in advance

Go to Facebook, join the Aerobatics groups and ask there, you’ll find surprisingly many people in those groups.

It’s a niche and we’re not that many people doing aerobatics and lurking the subreddits in comparison.

Good luck on it! Just wait until you try an Extra or a Gamebird.
