But did it make you feel more confident and relaxed having done that aerobatic experience than if you had not?
When I got my PPL I quite happily took friends off on trips into France with a much more experienced pilot with me.
On one occasion my friends turned up we were ready to go and a message came through from my friend who told me he had crashed the car and was unable to come.
I was all for cancelling and got really nervous until my friend assured me I didnt need him to hold my hand.
I was still nervous but bit the bullet loaded my other friends and we had a superb flight there and back which did my confidence the world of good.
In any situation where you know you have someone alongside who can sort things it is a fear in itself to loose that safeguard and go it alone.
That is an equal fear as stall recovery and the only way to deal with it is to go it alone.
FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY!
Fear is about the unknown get taught recovery to incipient which is the modern trend and there is a lot of unknown there.
Go have fun with an aerobatic machine
