| Gene Beggs in the US still sells (or did last I asked, 5 err 7 years ago) his excellent book on spin recovery. It is basically a volume that covers his and Eric Muller's best technique for spin egression in the Pitts.
Closing the throttle as Sooty 615 says is rather germane to the succesful outcome.
If I find that my thinking is not far ahead enough of my Pitts and I am unsure what I have already told it to do next, I close the throttle and centre the ball! It may not be pretty but with several hundred hours on type IT has consistently worked.
The aeroplane will immediately do exactly as you tell it - as long as the input is there, change the input and it will immediately conform to the new input.
Best glide is circa 100mph in the 1C - so be prepared to stretch it by flying in balance OR more likely picking something acheivable and slipping hard whilst S turning. As each airframe is different it really is worth climbing to 1500' in the o/head and practicing an engine failure.
MF - have yr e-addy, just need to find the scan for you.
