Not sure if this will help or not but I was petrified of the wing drop in a Tommohawk stall that I screemed everytime it happend. My fear was that when the wing and nose dropped I would end up in a spin. My instructor cured my fear by explaining how to prevent the wing drop in the stall and he also got me to just throw the aircraft arround any way I wanted it cured me of most of my fear leaving just a healthy fear. I did pass my skills test in a tommohawk and have sinced had a demo spin. I found the spin was not as bad as I thought it would be.
