I enjoy bobbing about a bit. I'm just doing my training at the moment and had a fantastic time doing turns at high angles of bank. I would put this down to having had the good fortune to do a few aerobatic sorties in the past which has prepared me for the exciting moments. I also understand that trainer aircraft are very stable and generally forgiving. I recall an early flight in a Tomahawk when I asked the instructer just how stable this little plane was? he seemed to throw the controls all over the place, the aircraft bucked about in the sky then he said "watch" ....and let go: I was amazed at how quickly she settled into a normal attitude. I think instructors should do this at an early stage to reassure pupils who show any degree of nervousness.
