Great to hear from you again! A reminder of years gone by when this old thread fairly hummed. This spinning article is fascinating so I am going to post a link in the Private Flying forum. My ex-WW2 instructor made me spin from every possible situation and thereby saved my neck on one occasion involving engine failure. I understand spinning is no longer taught on the PPL syllabus, which may be why I have seen distressing reports of witnesses saying that they saw the aircraft turn steeply, then dive into the ground. Best wishes!
