FWIW, my wife used to mildly freak out anytime we were climbing or descending in the 172 I used to fly. She's a little bit claustrophobic, just to make things more fun. I was concerned that building a tip-up RV-7 was going to push her from "mild" to "melt-down". But from the first flight she made with me in the 7, it didn't bother her at all. I think it even surprised her a little. Can't explain it, but maybe it will give your wife a data point of hope.
