PA-28-140 Cherokee advice
Don't spin it. Why? When I did my spin training for my CFI certificate in 1973 we did it in a 140. It doesn't want to spin, but once it does it does so normally and predictably. Rod

Any of you with a lot of hours an experience could give me some hints and tips about this airplane? Thanks in advance. Don't spin it. Why? Because it probably has both a vacuum driven artificial horizon and a directional gyro, both rather costly instruments. When you spin the plane you'll cause the gyros to tumble, which is very hard on the bearings and other moving parts inside these instruments and will contribute to their premature failure. For each time you watch an AI or DG tumble around, picture in your mind the sights and sounds of an old timey cash register going "ka-ching" "ka-ching" with dollar signs and numbers in the several hundreds showing in the display.
