IFR...
Interesting to read your view of Robins, given your aeros experience. I've not got a great deal of time or a/c variety but I have to say they seem to be quality through and through. I've not scared myself... but then again there's probably an inverted spin out there with my name out. And yup, I've never seen anyone wear a chute in 'our' one either.

Sounds like we could be at the same field. If it's the one with the cafe that get's overrun with (Fosse Way?) cyclists, then we're in the same place.
The upright spin recovery is indeed Pull! - to do with airflow over that monster rudder, apparently. There's even a nice placard 'THE SPIN RECOVERY IS UNCONVENTIONAL' (silly thoughts of POH showing pilot donning 'funny' moustache & glasses...) Perhaps IFR has the full tech explanation?
I think I'm registered for Patty's stuff so I'll go check the discussion.
re: poss kit sharing - mail me at
