Know where your coming from !

My instructor is into acrobatics, he's pulled some kewl stuff with me, the first time he did a 60 degree turn with constant 2G my head well went out, 45 degree turns where not the most comfortable things.

The 45 turns got much better after I had got used to them and when I started doing them I was fine.
I actually love doing 45's now so much more fun, though I have been told off for doing them on downwind to base eeek.

on the 60's it was just a matter of the more of them you do the calmer it will feel. In the first ones it felt like I was 90 degrees to the ground lol he also does some wing over maneuvers, but again after done a few they just ended us good fun.

When I was doing my PPL I learnt from my instructor teaching me but also watching what he does and how he handles the plane.

Question for anyone: do you ever get taught 60 turns and wing overs etc, if so is it cpl stuff ?
