I disagree; the Telemaster or any trainer for that mater will do the basic aerobatics. Rolls, loops, stalls, spins, split S etc. About the only thing they don't do well is extended inverted, knife edge and the 3D that is so common today. If you fly it like a prototypical high wing aerobat like a Citabria you can fly those maneuvers quite scale like. Even a cub and a 65 hp Aeronca are capable of basic maneuvers. You will have a riot with the Telemaster and when you master the trike gear change it to a tail dragger and have at it. It’s the perfect plane to learn to fly off floats.
