Best GA Pilot Continuing Education Courses

I am interested in taking a course every year to improve my piloting
skills. I am currenty a low-time (350 hour) private pilot with a recent
IFR rating.

Can folks recommend good weekend courses (preferrably ones with
practical flying experience, not just lectures) that they have taken and
really gotten a lot out of? I recall reading about one where they teach
you to recognize and get out of REALLY unusual attitudes (like flying
inverted)...using aerobatic airplanes. That sounded useful, but I do
not recall the name of the course and where it is taught. Suggestions
for the top courses around the country would be really helpful. Thanks
in advance.

How about FREE... Take advantage of the FAA's Wings Weekends. Seminars
(some average, some great) and 3 hours free instruction from volunteers.
I have never failed to learn something new and useful, although
unpredictable. Helps my insurance rates and counts as a flight review.

So where is the 3 hours of free (presumably flight) instruction from
volunteers? I know there's somewhere near Florida, but that doesn't help me
much.

Unfortunately, IAC's website is not properly configured for all
browsers. Some links don't work with iCab, so one has to do things the
hard way.

Contact your local FSDO.
