DON'T DO THIS: Teaching Myself How To Spin an Airplane!

MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A NEGATIVE COMMENT BEFORE YOU GO SO I CAN TALK SHIT ABOUT YOUR HAIRSTYLE OR SOMETHING BEFORE YOU LEAVE! (Yes I already know you think I will kill myself someday, so try to think up something new and unique, mmmmmmkaaayyy?)

DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF! (without proper instruction)!

If you try to teach yourself how to spin an airplane without any formal training, like I did here, you could kill yourself. Even my buddy Jim was telling me I shouldn't... but I did anyway ;)

I spent probably 20 hours over the last 6 months preparing for this. I read as much as I could find on spin recovery.

I watched youtube videos of instructors actually teaching students how to spin and recover.

I watched videos of this specific aircraft doing spins, to get used to what it will look like.

I read many news articles and stories of people who spun in their aircraft, mostly unintentionally, and died, and learned why.

I talked to the guys at my field whenever I had a chance about how to get out of a spin, and what to watch out for.

This is not something i just got up and tried one day. I basically did everything that a normal student would do to prepare for spin training on the ground, and probably more. The only things I did not do were:

1) I had never ever been inside an aircraft in a spin prior to this, and
2) I did not have an instructor with me onboard to recover for me if things went bad.

Those last two things would go a long way for you if you want to learn spin recovery.

I didn't follow my own advice, but I don't have any kids, either ;)

Enjoy the show!
