Narrative:
I was flying aerobatics in the approved practice area when I noticed that my oil pressure was fluctuating. I immediately reduced power; and went straight to a nearby airport for a precautionary landing. The most direct route may have cut through the corner of the class C airspace. I landed without incident. There were no traffic conflicts.
