I agree about the spin thing. Now that I've done them I'm not only more comfortable with them, but I'm more comfortable with stalls. It's amazing to see how deathly afraid people are of stalls. There is such a misconception of those, and spins that I think people often end up putting themselves in more danger trying to avoid them. I love the stunned look on my students face as I do one for the first time in a coordinated turn. I like their reaction even more when I show them the PTS and tell them that the examiner can require them at up to a 20 degree bank.
When I first did spins for the CFI I was very nervous about them. First one wasn't really surprising. Just did what my training has taught me and it went fine. Second one was kind of fun. By the third one I was really enjoying it. I then got sick on the fourth one
Now I need to get some aerbatic training under my belt...
