OK but lets not stop there aerobatics are not the only game in town that require skill and effort (read fun) that trainers are ideally suited for.

Just one of which is carrier landings: tremendous fun, harder than snot and little risk to the airplane aside from a few props.

Drill a hole through the fuse just in front of the stabilizer in the ply or a hard point and insert a piece of brass tubeing and drip some CA in. Run a long piece of music wire through and bend back to form a yoke then where they come together extend a single piece with a 'big' hook, wrap with copper wire and solder.

For the trap use a fifty foot piece of mason line tied to the handles of two milk jugs filled with water and stretch accross the runway.
For takeoff just let the hook drag, not a problem. Takes a surpriseing amount of practice but sure does wonders for your approach and landing techniques. When you finally make a successful trap its as pretty as you please and the airplane just angles down to the ground nice and soft. If you hit the prop or catch a nose wheel the result is not usually much differant except you will sacrafice a few props.

Give it a shot, The world does not just revolve around 3D (pun intended)

By the way no fair touching the runway before or after passing the trap if you 'bolter' then you have to complete the go around.
