Sid, here's one brand available at "Office Depot"
http://www.office-discounts-online.com/store/SchoolCraftMaterials_CraftAccessories/950816.asp
I use this for covering documents...check lists etc...it is very flexible
and seems to last forever. A 24 inch X 36 foot roll was $5.99.
Here's the company web site http://www.kittrich.com/

practice slipping at your (slow) approach speed until you are comfortable with
the handling.

In Salinas we have two of the worlds best acro pilots. Wayne Handley holds
the worlds record for most inverted flat spins. While doing some spin
testing for an Agricultural Aircraft company he found that although the
plane was difficult to get into a spin, it would not recover from one spin
mode without a spin chute deployment. Yes the plane had a long wing and was
short coupled.
Sean D Tucker stepped out of a Pitts he was practicing in when it would not
recover. Of course it recovered and flew away after he was gone.
So even certified, spin resistant and profesional pilot does not guaranty
spin recovery. Perhaps this is the reason spins are no longer required by
the FAA for licensing.
