Strafer could be right, my head is approaching an incipient spin as we speak.

But... Thanks a lot for the input guys.

First, it's nice to know that I am not the only one that hates stalling. Every instuctor I ask says the same, and then ends the statement with "because it's boring".
Hmmm, how can purposefully making a serviceable aircraft in effect stop flying be boring??? Methinks someone has a strange sense of humour!

Secondly. I was wondering about a basic aero trip, if only to attempt a de-sensitisation of stalling. From the advise given, it would appear that this is indeed a sensible idea.

Thirdly, I can recover from the stall in any configuration, my instructor is a cautious fellow ( a good thing for a pilot), and would not have let me within 100 miles of the curcuit if I couldn't do it safely. My problem is quite simply one of a stomach emptying dread of the topic. I even asked him to demo a spin the last time we went stalling, but bottled out before he did it.

But there is a lot of food for thought there, so once again a big thanks
