TomParsons Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Spin Training Questions" 01-14-03, 18:09z  I'm going out to AZ yet again next month (this time with wife and kids!), and I'm scheduled to do spin training with Sonny Weller while we're out there. Sonny knows I'm after the "full monty" of pre-solo-acro spin exposure, and has promised to work with me on upright, inverted, and crossover spins, as well as accelerated and flat modes of those. I also asked him to have us enter some spins by botching a few maneuvers, just to see what that's like. We are hoping to cover this stuff in two or three sessions. So my questions are: - Anybody have a PIREP on Sonny Weller as a spin instructor? - Am I planning on doing all the right things in my limited time with him? - Can I really accomplish enough in three sessions with Sonny to safely go out and fly solo acro in my S-1S? - Should I spend the time between now and next month getting my stomach tolerance in shape (to the extent I can do that in non-acro flight), or should I not worry so much about that, and just keep plugging away at learning to land my airplane?
