Again, more than 17 years ago, but as I remember it was just the two of us, no baggage and I can't remember how much fuel.
THE POINT IS: The same technique of entering the spin resulted in two different types of spins. One was conventional, the other was flat. NOTHING was changed between the two spins except for the minuscule amount of fuel that was burned.
