Spin and recovery characteristics of light twins
Whilst I've no intention of deliberately spinning a light twin, it would be interesting to understand how the spin and recovery characterstics might differ from an SEP. Do we have anyone here with spin experience on MEPs, or on straight-winged aircraft with and without wing-mounted stores or tip tanks?
I've done a lot of spin and aeros teaching in SEPs and assume that mass on (straight) wings (so that A>B) would lead to a flatter stable spin with a high yaw rate and not too much roll. In the absence of other guidance I assume that recovery drills would be standard, with use of power on the inside as a "last ditch" idea. Any real-world experience or advice?
