    Its really not that big of a deal but I feel like sharing (and a little bit of just me venting my excitement). Anyhow, I realize that I've not been posting for a while but its only because I've just recently completed my Private Pilots License Course and I'm proud to say that I've helped to spread Pen spinning to the aviation community including a C130 Hercules pilot with the Canadian Forces and a flight instructor here in Nova Scotia. I've also developed an interesting game (not recommended if you aren't alone): You have to set yourself up in straight and level flight and then try to do so continuous penspinning trick for as long as possible until you have to regain control of the aircraft smile.gif... Don't worry, it's not actually that risky. Anyhow, hopefully get some vids of PSing in the air up Soon tongue.gif

    Congrats!
    We can always have more spinners.
    and on completing your course
    Although the spinning while flying does seem risky...

    Doesn't seem that risky to me, not much to hit xD.

    See if you can control a wicked combo while landing the plane.

    I'll definitely put something together... Maybe not while actually landing though, that would probably be a little too risky, I'll just have to make sure whoever owns the plane doesn't know that's what I'm doing tongue.gif
