Narrative:

I was flying a few aerobatic maneuvers when I saw a cpr jet make an abrupt turn to avoid a collision with me. I was not on an airway or within or above class D airspace. In the future, I intend to use radar advisories when doing aerobatics if such service is available. I only thank my lucky stars that the crew of the jet was alert and able to avoid my aircraft.
