Reklats
Pre-Flight
Had my second aerobatics lesson on Sunday. Amazing that I had 1 hour on the hobbs, but compressed all the maneuvers down to 5 minutes.

As I point out in the comments, snap rolls and loops were not bad (for my second lesson).
Aileron rolls to the left looked a lot better then to the right. I'm struggling to get the yoke turned all the way to the stops when turning right, kept getting hung up with my left hand at the 12 o'clock position. During my first lesson, my instructor ran the throttle, this time I ran the throttle so that added some complexity.
I botched the first spin recovery. If you turn up the volume you can make out my instructor saying "let go" and then here him struggle a bit to get us out of the spin. Mental block on my part, I some how got it in my head that I was supposed to hold back pressure until the rotation stopped with opposite rudder, instead of relaxing back pressure with the opposite rudder.
We'll be starting with spins next time. I'm hoping to get out to the airport sooner and find a better place to mount the camera. I found it beneficial to have the video to review.
