I don't really know much about aerobatic planes; but after watching the Red Bull Air Race, I like them lol. So what is the best plane for aerobatics for FSX?

You have a few choices for FSX. I'll just give you the aircraft names so you know what to look out for in your browsing. Most mentioned were created for 2004, but may work fine in FSX if you try.

Extra 300 (default)

Sukhoi Su-26 & 31

Zivko Edge 540

CAP 230

CAP 10 (good one for FS2004 by Samdim. Freeware)

BAe Hawk (Red Arrows team)

Boeing F-18 Hornet (Blue Angels)

F-16 Fighting Falcon (Thunderbirds)

Fouga Magister (old Patrouille de France aircraft. Good one by Restauravia FS team for 2004.)

Dornier Alphajet (current French display team craft. Good one in the SimV download library for 2004.)

Zlin Z-50 (good one for FSX by Tim "Piglet" Conrad)

Zlin Z-526 (out there for 2002 and 2004 with some patches. Currently up to version 3.)

Zlin Z-142 (more of a tourer but is respectable. Great one on www.flightsim.cz)

Rich, you've clearly never seen the things I do in an An-225 ;)
They don't call me Captain Puke For Sure without good reason, mind you I still rate my inverted loop of the Golden Gate in Concorde as one of those high points in my daftness ;D
Although getting the 225 down into Lukla rocked as well 8-)
