slim_slag: That's not so in Canada. Personally, as soon as I was allowed in the practice area solo, i was spin-spin-spinning my ass off!! It's the most fun a private pilot can have in a non-aerobatic plane. Nothing makes your friends puke like three or four spins followed by a coupla zero g's and an uncoordinated steep turn.
Most young student pilots I know are the same. Once they find out they're allowed to go out and practice spins, that's all they do for a while. They're fun, and most students don't realize that they might be dangerous. They figure if they were that dangerous, the school wouldn't be teaching them at such an elementary level.
