Incidentally, I was amazed at a recent Instructor Seminar where they were preaching a spin recovery technique where the first action was check flaps up. Fumble, fumble, high ROD, splat!
TBH I think this is a little harsh as some types (C152?) are said to have a delayed recovery with flaps down, so it's not unreasonable to check flaps up. If I'm honest, it's not part of my brief - mmm, perhaps it should be.
