Get some airtime in a Citabria, and if you like it then get some time in a Pitts or the like. Go with someone you trust and who is very experienced at acro, because if it goes wrong you may very well end up practicing your parachuting PLF!

Acro is fun but if you are going to do it often its expensive. Not that many airplanes for rent that allow you to do acro that are stressed for it, so you end up having to buy a plane, and they are not cheap.

Its fun but if you think a 911 is expensive... try airplanes or boats!
