    I didn't mind spins on a check flight , but I hated all that G on recovery !

    I disagree with the way this especially trained "test pilot" recovered from this spin. I'm also a "test pilot". I've trained hundreds of student pilots how to fly general aviation airplanes. I've spent over 3K hours teaching primary flight students how to fly general aviation airplanes. I've seen them stall and go into spins without their intention to do so. I once had an electrical engineering student pilot ( back around 1976) who went into to climbing right turn power on stall. The Cessna 150 went into a full stall with almost full power. Once the C-150 stalled, it "went over the top" and flipped from a climbing right climbing turn into a spin over the top to the left. So what did my electrical engineering student do when the airplane stalled and began to do a left flip over the top? He took both of his hands off of the controls and grabbed my left leg. I found that so funny I had to laugh as I took over. Of course we were at a very high altitude and this maneuver was very safe. But what I find most interesting is how the human mind tries to save itself in an "emergency situation". In this case the student went into "default mode" and relied on my expertise to save his butt. I did so because we were over 3,500 ft. at the time and we were well within the safe mode of the envelope. I've always used this special experience to demonstrate to my friends how student pilots react when under unusual conditions. My advice to you young flight instructors is to not use your "testosterone" as your guide. Instead, as flight instructors, make believe you are a 60 year old flight instructor, teaching your new students how to fly small airplanes. Make believe you have been teaching "student pilots" for over fifty years and have experienced all the bad things that can happen to you. Then you will be really great "flight instructors". IMHO.
