Great flying day!!
Yesterday I spent the morning with Mike at Acro Dynamics. I went for the upset / spin recovery course. We talked for an hour about what I was looking for and what we would do. Then we flew for an hour. We did power on and power off stalls, left and right spin entry and recovery, aileron and barrel rolls, loops, etc. He simulated wake turbulence and got me inverted a number of times and had me recover.
The experience was exhilarating and very beneficial. I am much more confident now that I can recognize the onset of a stall / spin, and recover from it before it happens.
I plan on taking more instruction from Mike, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for upset recovery or aerobatic instruction.
