Dave S.- Thanks for telling me it doesn't help to accelerate the spin. I wanted to practice the right way, but it's relief to know I don't have to practice that!

I'm definitely going to try this. I have been waiting on the forward stick until the yaw was completely canceled, and I end up wallowing around instead of crisply stopping the rotation.

Dave P.- I am in with the local IAC folks (Chapter 52), but I'm just getting started with solo acro over the last week or so. I got one of the guys to do some ground critique last weekend, but we didn't get to the spins. We had plenty of work to do just trying to round out my loops!

Thanks for the pointers, Daves!

Tom P.
