sennadog,

You should definitely do some full spins, as you will then recognise one if you should ever inadvertently get into one.

I did a fair few spins in gliders - definitely part of mandatory pre-solo training - and while I can't say I really enjoyed doing them, I didn't think it was too bad.

I think that one should be able to recover a spin in 1000' - most often the problem is recognizing that it is a spin and doing the right things to correct it in time. "Stick and Rudder" has a very readable section on this.

The more you practice, the more instinctive the recovery technique becomes.

I'm certainly glad that I have full spin recovery experience, albeit in gliders, cos I've only flown Warriors.
