G-SPOTs Lost - the bravos did spin well - an excellent aircraft for what it was used for. Shame they were sold off at criminally little money but thats another story.

Yes I have spun Pa38 Tomahawk II's many many times. Only ever had one refuse to recover at the first attempt. This was from an entry at 8,000ft and recovery at about 6,200ft. Just reset to pro-spin pause, then recovery actions again and out she came.

Strangely the heartbeat didn't go up much until about 5 minutes later.

There really is no problem spinning PA38's. I think Bulldogs could bite you easier and more seriously.
