"Most interesting spin ever encountered was in an ex BAE Prestwick AS202 Bravo, used to increase rotation rate and do two more turns after the appropiate recovery action had been taken."
you need to know about your A over B ratios.
The Bravos that were at the Flying College were perfect for spinning from what I know and did exactly what should happen when recovery action is initiated.
If you are teaching spining but not including in your demo the main point that the spin gets faster once you have initiated recovery action then you have been leaving out the main point of the exercise. The spin will increase in rotation rate and you need to hold the recovery through this phase even though the increased rotation can fool you into thinking you have made the wrong input. It is this increased rotation that fools some folks into stopping the recovery action and trying to recover now using opposite control inputs and utimately spinning untill they hit the deck. And I bet that smarts a bit although usually most folks don't live to tell the tale.
