Aerobatic basics
I have been flying on and off since I was 15, my flying skill have not increased as I would like them to (college eat a lot of time), I'm a safe pilot and can do the basics (takeoff, land, rolls, loops) kinda limited, I really like to start improving my skills. Unfortunately most of the people in the club I have been flying at (4 times in the past year) fly mostly on Saturdays, and I can only go on Sundays, so one on one is kinda complicated. Does any body have good resources on how to start on improving my skills? Online sources would be greatly appreciated, and any other resources you might thing will help me.
Thanks a lot

RE: Aerobatic basics
Another idea is to look at the AMA contest calendar to find some pattern contests in your area. While some amount of solatary flying is nice, nothing can replace having an experienced pilot providing guidance on how to do the maneuvers, and to give you feedback on how well you're doing them. Even if you're not thinking of competing, some time flying with someone who competes in pattern can make a world of difference.
