How bout 2:1 on a wheels up landin in an Arrow, after successfully doin a barrel roll in it

Nah, most Arrows have that stupid automatic gear extention that happens at a certain AS. Dumb idea but Im sure it saved more than a few props/belly skins.

Might as well fly a hot air balloon if you have an aircraft that cant do a loop or roll.

On average, how much more does an aerobatic aircraft cost than a non-aerobatic (buying cost)?

depends.

A single hole pitts you can pick up for $12,500.

You can buy a new Cessna Skylane for $300,000.

Anywhere in between....

if you are a private pilot and you just want to do minor aerobatics your best bet is to build yourself a RV. I personally like the 6 and the 8 but for just aerobatics a RV4 would prolly be the best, due to the tandem design. Sure a RV8 is tandem but its a little bigger and heavier, although not by much. Besides RVs are just oh so fun to fly.
