The original post talks about a fear of stalling and actually you can sympathise with the view given the current PPL (i.e no spin training) and some of the established views (some expressed here).

With the correct training there is nothing to fear from either a stalled condition or the spin. In fact aerobatics will introduce spins which require stopping to the a degree of accuracy to the 1/4 turn at the first stages - so all of this is under control.

The problem is that during the PPL such a big deal is made of the stall/spin that students are left uneducated - in fact most instructors have very little spin knowledge.

Sadly this extends to the military where this fear is re-enforced as they themselves have drilled holes in the ground with a variety of basic trainers.

The only solution (IMO) is do some training with a good aerobatics instructor. Your profile suggest you live in Swindon - so White Waltham is a perfect venue for you to kick off.
