Where abouts are you? Someone may know of a good place. If all else fails,
ask a few CFI's where they did their spin training. Unfortunately, a lot
of schools (the one I work at included) have to prohibit spins in their
aircraft due to the price of new gyros. :-( Consequently, CFI spin
training is usually outsourced.

No spin training where I got my PPL, so I visited a friend - exF4, F16 and
CFI - who was happy to train me in spins. I had heard that you can't spin
150's due to the gyros, but that was 25 years prior to my spin training. So
I asked him about it and he said it was not a problem - now give me a 4
turn spin (this in a 152).....

So I must need more info about this gyro limitation to truly understand
it....What conditions/gyro/airplane etc. should one avoid doing spins to
prevent gyro problems?

thanks
