Excuse My Limited Aerobatic Experience

an inverted spin
So you stalled the aeroplane inverted..... With forward stick and rudder applied?
Methinks Avgas is confusing an inverted spin (I suspect nigh impossible in a PA28 without very deliberate control inputs and maybe a somewhat rear CofG) with an upright spin that started out with the aeroplane rolling over initially before getting itself sorted out in a conventional spin (far more likely).
But Captain, I am far too polite to say so.
I pondered this muchly when teaching myself aeros in a C150 Aerobat. Even read Neil Williams book cover to cover
- before I figured out that you would have to work really hard to get an Aerobat in an inverted spin, if even possible, and even harder to keep it there.
I did, however, teach myself snap rolls - with the aeroplane in one hand and the POH in the other. The first one went really well
- I only lost 1000' before I recovered from the inevitable spin and was left wondering what the hell just happened!! Fortunately I started my "lesson" at 9000'.
