Anti-spin Training
G'day Andy_P,
Congratulations on your first solo; that's the one flight above all you will remember for the rest of your life.
In regard to anti-spin training, I think this modern practice of training people, who have never experienced a spin, how to avoid something they have only read about is creating an irrational fear of even anti-spin training, not to mention the spin itself.
may I suggest that it would be a good idea to take just one flight with an aerobatics instructor in a proper aerobatic aeroplane and let him/her demonstrate a couple of fully developed spins. And then show you how spinning should be avoided.
Good luck Dig!
BP.
