AF and SSD have told you all you need to know!

All I can add as a sop is that when I learned to fly and was told to go off and practice steep turns and stalls, I'd hide behind a big cloud and do gentle turns until my time was up as I was so scared! Steep turns and stalls were safe as long as SHE was there, for she was a sky-goddess!

My first aero's session, after I had 300hrs convinced me that I couldn't really fly - I could merely operate an aeroplane using a prescriptive series of numbers!

I now compete in aerobatics and feel the need to counter the initial 300 hrs with aero's - I have 200 on Pitts' and guess that less than half is aerobatting so need to spend more time/money at it!

relax, relax - then learn to enjoy a bit of bank/ a bit of G.
