[quote=The Muller/Beggs recovery works for nearly all standard aeroplanes and spins and is let go of the stick and rudder, press fully on the rudder pedal that floats toward you, as the rotation stops, catch the stick as it moves from rear left or right to central.[/quote]

Beggs works perfectly especially on the S2A and S2B, has done for many years. Upright, inverted, flat, accelerated, the lot.

Excluding competition spins of course, in an unintentional spin this assumes you know which way is up or down, which direction you are spinning and which way the yaw and roll is, and if you are in a true FLAT ( I mean developed accidental flat spin - which was pointed out as to be exceptionally rare), you would have power on and in a pitts the rate of rotation would be be brisk, with inspin (will only lower the nose) or fwd stick incorrectly timed with application of opposite rudder (assuming you pick the correct one) in the "heartbeat" moment, you'd find yourself in a crossover.


Curtis Pitts rarely endorsed anything, however a letter inside the first page of Gene Beggs book "Spins in the Pitts Special" is about as close as you get, and that book teaches the hand's off method.
