Slasher, come on, you only live once, it is far too much fun, to be boring and fly with the sky on top.

I don't know a staggering amount, but have heard stories from the RAF days of operating the DHC1, where there were alot of accidents were pilots spun in. Fairly quickly.
When I came back from my first flight in one I couldn't work it out, to get out of a spin you must stop the rotation then unstall the wings, but in this instance, unstalling the wings helped both stop rotation and get out of the manoeuvre. In everything else I have spun (probably a dozen types) this was the only machine where the technique is different.
They are the nicest handling aeroplane I have ever flown though, anyone else agree?
