Folks...this type is one of the safest types to conduct a deliberate, errect spin in! ALL of the rudder surface area is exposed to the relative airflow during the developed stage and during the recovery. There is no tailplane blanking. The type settles a little more nose down than say a Cessna. The type will respond from correct "traditional" recovery teqniques quickly however rate of rotation will be lower and ROD will be higher compared to a true flat spin. No spin issue with this machine!.....Shall I go and put the kettle on??
