Human Factors
While practicing commercial maneuvers in the practice area during the initial climb of a lazy eight; I observed a tail wheel aircraft approximately 100 ft. vertically and 100 ft. horizontally from our aircraft. I immediately made an evasive climbing maneuver to avoid the aircraft. The aircraft was not observed on ADSB [and] did not make radio calls for the practice area.
C172 pilot reported an NMAC in the practice area.
