Kirk, of course you are right. My statements were somewhat tongue-in-cheek to expose the habit of taking high tows for no good reason. I enjoy the ~5sec of Zero-g that you can get from a well-flown hammerhead stall and we spin our ASK-21's regularly during flight reviews and in student training (with tail weights). So go, take the 3,500' aero-tow, your club treasurer will be thankful.

Awesome! I need to talk our club into getting the spin kit for our K-21; currently we use our L-13AC...
Has there been any interest in a glider acro program in your parts?

Kirk, Like I said, I don't know of anyone in the greater Chicago area who is even qualified to teach aerobatics. Way back in Provence, France I had a chance to pay for a high 4,000' tow with an expert French aerobatics pilot, incredible. Especially the inverted ridge-soaring, no kidding. I'd be very interested in learning more about it.
