I was watching the 50-something spins done in a 152 on youtube and it
got me thinking;

I seem to remember being taught during commercial training that spins
do not greatly increase G forces on the airplane, is this true?

Yeah, there's not a lot of G. There are probably some less than natural
loads on some parts of the airplane, but they're obviously not excessive.
The recovery will put a bit on , ocurse 2.5-3 G


I also remember being warned "no spin is exactly the same or
predictable, so DON'T do them solo! Was this just a warning from my
school so we wouldn't screw up their gyros or are spins indeed
possibly very dangerous inherently for some reason?

I would like to try some solo next time I'm up just for fun but may
take a willing CFI along (or fellow pilot) just in case.

Would 50-something spins compromise a Cessna 150 or 152's structure?

No more than a three turn one in that case.It'd sure do somethign to my
head, though!


Another thing I'd be concerned about was getting overly dizzy beyond a
handful of spins.



Well, that can happen anyway. Not that big a deal!
