I always spin my 27 several times in several different ways each season so

reminds me how dangerous uncontrolled flight near the ground would be.

Are intentional spins allowed on the placard of a 27? They aren't on my 26.....

Still, I practice spin departures, sometimes unintentionally in bumpy thermals.

Now to the original point, is there a single pilot who has had spin training who regrets the experience, and would not take it if he/she got a do-over? Anyone?
