Interview with the pilot

26 Turn Flat Spin from The Aviators TV show (from LOOP TV)

So he used full aileron from a fully developed stall to enter the spin, and it almost instantly went flat. He then had to use further aileron to get from the flat spin to a more normal spin, from which he could then recover.

A good lesson in what can happen if you mishandle a spin entry.
