Can an airplane in a fully developed spin build up speed on it's own accord without control inputs, as a result of a forward CG or nose- down attitude? Is a spin really ,,stable'' ?
This is what happens in many Cessnas, when it happens it is no longer a spin but a spiral dive - this is the main visual difference between the two, a spin will have low oscillating airspeed, a spiral dive will have the speed increasing.
