Maui I would suggest the Victa just gave up flying and did its usual... FLOOOMPH !....oil-canning carry-on that would have frightened the sh*t out of a 17 hour student, and until you unfroze on the backstick it wudda kept doing it
I have flown pretty well all the Victas from the 100 to 150 CSU (40 years ago mind)
None of them had any inclination to spin properly but were a superb little trainer that would not be out of place today
