I wouldn't do it unless you have mil fighter/trainer time. Or turbojet time and a LOT of piston aerobatic experience.
Otherwise you're just asking to die soon.

I'm sure you could fly it, you'd just be at higher risk of a fatal accident. Or at least getting a seat ride. Especially if you want to do aerobatic stuff, which kind of seems like the whole point.
Even in the mil, you need to get certain grades to fly that sort of aircraft. And even then it's not the safest thing to be doing.
IMO you need to learn aerobatics first in something with a propeller... just like the mil does it.
