The plane that I will/would be flying in is a Citabria (so maybe I could knock out the tail dragger endorsement too?). The instructor and I talked quite a bit (especially since I read somewhere that the majority of spin deaths occur with an instructor in the plane)...and he told me that he has done spin training with several dozen students...and does loops, rolls, yadda yadda yadda....
