JungleStrip,

Thats very good advice above from JF.
Get comfortable moving in and out of stalls first before going on to spinning.

If you are sure you want to spin - how about this..
Avoid Tomahawks like the plague - the spin rate is high and can disorientate the best of us.

Find a good aerobatic aircraft -perhaps the Slingsby.

But by far and away the most enjoyable, graceful and atmospheric spinning I have done was in a Tiger Moth. Absolutely wonderful and a nice steady spin rate - not like your Hotpoint on max RPM.

Also I think the open cockpit made it less disorientating, maybe the fresh air flowing past...
