Narrative:
While flying aerobatic maneuvers; I experienced a near miss with a jet maneuvering between six thousand and seven thousand feet. Shortly after departing hnd; I proceeded to an area southeast of the lateral limits of the class B; approximately 20 miles southeast of the henderson airport. After a series of maneuvers; which included clearing turns; I proceeded to climb vertically. As I climbed; a jet passed below me; headed in a northwesterly direction. At the time I saw the jet; I could see that my momentum would take me over his flight path; however; the distance was unacceptably close. There is a high concentration of aerobatic activity in this area and I believe that there should be a caution placed on the las vegas sectional and tac chart. I will be contacting the FAA to start this process.
