Hi Crab,
Some of us got the other lesson. Climb out to about 8,000’ in a 22. Yes it took a while from memory... same start of lesson, turn down wind, pull airspeed back to zero, start a descent, shaking scary stuff, pull power, going down faster, I remember the VSI being pegged as low as it would go. After what seemed like an hour, and loosing a few thousand feet, we started a recovery and came out about 1000”.

Scared the crap out of me, but I made sure everything was done into wind after that!
