You spin me right round, baby, right round...

10:30 - Today, I stalled the aircraft.  Power-on stalls, power-off stalls and demo stalls.  This experience was the most fun and rewarding in the air to date.  The purpose is the increase or decrease the angle of attack (disrupts the airfoil) so much so as to lose lift.  Thus, entering a stall.  What an experience!

We also worked on steep turns.  I found that I was able to maintain altitude and heading much more accurately when the instrument panel was covered up, and I just observed the horizon.

To infinity...and beeeeeeeeeyond!
