Spins   Smiley...  I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't practiced even stall recovery in a long time. I did my BFR in May, and I really didn't like the stall stuff. I guess I'm getting old and complacent  Embarrassed

Last time I was in a spinning aircraft, was durng the CFI checkride. It was a Tomahawk  Tongue  And in the period working up to that ride, my instructor (a devilish lad) got me into a spin.. and the recovery resulted in ANOTHER spin, opposite direction  Shocked ...

Not long ago.. we (my 30,000 hour mentor and I) were in a PA28-151, and he was feeling frisky..  did a maneuver called, "Wing-over".  It's really a pretty timid deal.. but I didn't like it ONE bit...

(he says I need to take some aerobatic training..lol)

ANYway.. that 30-40 knot trick mentioned earlier, is a wind-shift, and dyslexic rudder-foot away from a spin  Lips Sealed

Excuse my little rant, yesterday, but I've never cared for the older, hershey bar winged cherokee.  From what I read, the newer version with the tapered wing is much better.  Other than expense, aerobatic training is an excellent idea.  Getting from upside down to right side up has always seemed like a good thing to know  Smiley.
