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?

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?

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

Not sure if this is a troll or not.....but assuming it is serious,
spins do not create additional G loads any more than normal flight
maneuvers do.
As far as doing them solo? If you haven't done them with a qualified
CFI, and its a damned shame that I even have to qualify that comment,
don't do them solo. Get some training in a proper aircraft.
The number of turns has nothing to do with integrity of the aircraft,
only the recovery
Dizzy is a state of mind as far as doing spins. Visual perceptions
will appear to be going out of control but after you are accustomed to
spins, you can count 1/4 turns and roll out on a specific heading.
Nothing dizzy about it unless you are a genuine blond.
As previously discussed for hundreds of posts and responses, spins
continue to be controversial. Its a damned shame that general aviation
has come to such a poor state when a normal flight maneuver is such a
sore point and continues to kill people every year.
