I've had two spin scares; one in a T67 and the other in a PA 38.
The Slingsby was a reluctant recovery but the PA38 spun happily in and out. It was the whole back end trying to shake itself loose that freaked me.
Only a few days later the a/c was in for check with lots removed. I commented how insubstantial all the brackets around the horizontal stab to fin were with all the supports removed.
"We haven't removed any supports" came the dour reply. I never flew one again.
