Lurkng and Used to Fly,I totally agree that it is more important not to spin than learn how to recover.
I wanted to see and feel what a spin was like,and if I had enough height,how to recover.
The entry into a spin is rather upsetting,at least now I would know what is happening and hopefully would remember how to get out of it.
I suppose the most important thing it taught me ,is how fatally dangerous a low level spin is and to never get near the conditions that would allow it.
One of my pals is an airline captain,he also flies a Pitts.
His advice was not to waste time and money on spinning, but to have some aero lessons.
