I would agree with this almost verbatim with David's view (below).
Concentrate and focus on getting your private certificate under your belt.
Once done, no need to delay, start on some spin training and basic
aerobatics and go from there. I also agree a tailwheel checkout would be
very beneficial from the point of view of improving airmanship and using
rudder.
In Canada a formal aerobatic instructor's endorsement IS required and from
my view
it can be awkward teaching aerobatics when the student hasn't yet a grasp of
the fundamentals. I have a friend do a private now and there is plenty going
on for him to master for his flight test without the distraction of
aerobatics.

John,
Welcome to flying! While there are more experienced opinions out
there, here's my two cents worth.
I received my Private just over one year ago. One of the first things
I did after getting my ticket was spin training. Very eye opening as well
as confidence building. Formal aerobatic training came next and continues
to be an on-going process. I am currently half way through my instrument
rating and will resume aerobatic training in the Spring.
I would seek out spin/unusual attitude training right after receiving your
Private. Why? This allows you to focus on your primary goal (getting the
Private) and gives you another immediate goal (and more fun training) once
you have earned your rating. Concentrate your attention on doing your
Private
training well and passing that checkride.
Also consider getting your tailwheel sign-off if your not already flying
a taildragger. It will teach you what the rudder and your feet are for!
I think spin training and learning to recover from unusual attitudes will
serve you well as you move on toward instrument training. Basic aerobatic
maneuvers are usually included in these courses.
Anyone can teach aerobatics. It is not a rating nor is it an FAA requirement
to be a CFI to teach aerobatics. Find a CFI that specializes in this type of
training. Don't trust your life to a wannabe airshow hero. I also wouldn't
fly with someone that feels the need to show you their aerobatic prowess.
Aerobatics also involves physiological acclimation. Don't let nausea or ill
feelings that can be induced by this type of flying scare you off. The more
you do it the greater your tolerance!
Best wishes to you. Enjoy the ride!

Hello All:
I'm a newby to the list as well as a newby to flying.
Right now I'm working toward the Private. I have about 20 hours. I will
be also working toward the Instrument as well as Commercial. It will take
me about 1 year to complete all of these. I also want to take an Aerobatic
course somewhere in my other training. I'm thinking about taking about 10
hours of training.
My question: At what point in my training would you recommend I start my
Aerobatic training? Right after Private? After Instrument? During
Commercial Training? Or after Commercial? Where in the training would you
recommend taking Aerobatics and why?
Thanks for everyones help!
