A lot of aircraft with a similar design (sport cruiser, Bristell etc) all suffer from rudder airflow shielding in a spin and wont come out according to overseas and local accident reports. The rudder is ineffective in any sort of spin that's anywhere near flat. I thought most of these had a ballistic parachute. I hope the guys recover quickly
