Nobody there, who could give you a more qualified . .reply than me?. .Yes, I've flown Fouga Magister occasionally in the Navy 32 years ago for specific weapons training tasks.. .No, no personal experience with Bonanzas. . .A long story the reason I never liked that little french double seater, not to interesting for you.. .One item though I remember, because you ask for it:. .Some more experienced pilots at that time who had completed regular basic training in France on this flying maschine warned us 'not to try any kind of spin' due to 'unpredictable recovery problems' related to the V-tail. Inverted spin recovery even worse, they said.. .So, I never tried. Unfortunately in 1966? the German Navy lost 2 F-104 pilots flying a Fouga Magister on a training mission. They went into an inverted spin and never recovered.. .To get more infos about F-Mag. spin characteristics, you could ask our friends in the French Forum? The AC is still flying over this beautiful country in large numbers. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
