AAA+++ for You Alan!!! I agree 100% in regards to the Sim training as well as Practice,Practice,Practice. One of the Most important words of advice I ever got was "Practice ALL Orientations" Put yourself in situations that you would normally not find yourself in, and Practice your Recovery over and over. It's like Golf. It will turn into Muscle Memory before you know it.. And before you know it you will be cutting grass and not even think twice...
Oh and take a few Deep breaths before you do it.. and just commit yourself and once you go inverted Low to the ground, Just remain calm. I have seen more guys go inverted and sink and over correct by flinching and dip the tail in or Mains. Including Me!!
