Message: [QUOTE="JetSpeed219, post: 679554, member: 11070"] Sorry if this is long! So I'm doing spins with my instructor in a 152 today, we first do a power off spin to the right, then a power off spin to the left. Those both go just fine, you actually have to hold the rudder in to keep it spinning and once you let it out the airplane rights itself, the same was true for our next spin which was power on to the right. All three of these are great, about 3 rotations for each spin. Well we get to the last one, power on to the left. So we get into it and I could not get the rotation to stop so my instructor takes the controls, he couldn't get the rotation to stop right away either! He was struggling with the controls for a while and I could tell this wasn't normal but finally after 8 rotations we came out of it. Afterwards my instructor who has been teaching for 5 years says to me that he has never experienced that before. At any rate it scared the ish out of me! Anybody else have any similar experiences? Is 8 rotations a lot or am I over-reacting? [/QUOTE]
