I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken....

Funny how you can own a plane for 24 years, fly thousands of hours on it, and realize, that there are still things you don't know about it!

While leafing through the flight manual for my C 150M, during a long flight yesterday, I happened across the procedure for spin recovery. It is:

(1) RETARD THROTTLE TO IDLE POSITION
(2) APPLY FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE TO THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION
(3) AFTER ONE-FOURTH TURN, MOVE THE CONTROL WHEEL FORWARD OF NEUTRAL IN A BRISK MOTION
............

Ive never come across one where the elevator was not the first flying control to be moved for stall or spin recovery-still you live and learn dont you!
I guess we'll both live and learn PW!
