before you hit the rudder.... before you think about the ailerons..... lets all say it together, "relax back pressure" thats the most important first step.

I think the book "Stick and Rudder" describes a lot of the issues with stalls and spins very eloquently in a way unbecoming of an FAA book.

I am admittedly a new CFI. I have had the opportunity to do some BFR's with folks having over 5000 hours.. so we have done some fun stuff like cross-control stalls, etc... and so far what I have come to realize that a lot of the details become moot if ya' just relax that back pressure....
