Sensible,
All my experience is on C150s - I have never managed to initiate a full spin other than by the "standard" method of full up elevator + full in-spin rudder. If I start from a stall, regardless of power setting, and just let a wing drop without any attempt at correction, the a/c will roll to maybe 70 degrees, then drop its nose and unstall itself -- no spin. Maybe this is because I am heavyish (about 200lb)? Makes me a bit cynical about incipient spin training - I am strongly in favour of putting full spins back on the syllabus, but this was all thrashed out in another thread a few months back. If incipient spin training is "real", i.e. the manouevre leads to a full spin if left uncorrected, then students doing solo practice are in danger - what if they are slow in the recovery and get into a full spin? Alternatively, if the training is "faked", i.e. the a/c wont spin if the student does nothing, then what's the point?
