I'd agree that its probably too hard to spin for spin training.

And that is exactly what this thread has been all about:

We are planning a Glider Aerobatics Workshop at Williams Gliderport!
....
This is for a basic introduction to aerobatics.

BTW, I did my primary aerobatics training in an ASK21 with tail ballast.
It spins wonderfully, and it was a very good exercise to calculate the
tail ballast, mount it and then having to believe my own calculation.

Ok Boys and GIrls,
Good response to the proposed glider aerobatics workshop.
For those who care, we are working on adjusting the CG on the ASK-21s
to facilitate spinning.
The workshop will be Sunday, February 21. We plan to start at 8:30.
Williams has motels. Williams has some good places to eat. Two
towplanes are available so you could spend Saturday practicing to
impress your friends on Sunday.
If you would like to attend, please let me know via this forum. As we
get closer to the date, and as people commit, I will post options for
meals and such.
I know there are a bunch of acro junkies and acro wannabees out
there. Here is a welcoming place to satisfy those desires.

Are there any prerequisites? Or, to phrase it differently, would a
freshly minted private pilot (who happens to enjoy spinning and would
love to learn how to fly loops) benefit from attending the workshop?

Hi Bart,

The only prerequisite is an interest in aerobatics in gliders. This
workshop should work over a vast breadth of flying experience. More
details are posted on: www.williamssoaring.com/seminars.html

Check it out.
