Final 3 greens...
I, too until very recently (Wednesday evening!) thought that an aeroplane can not spin unless it is stalled...
Gene Beggs, perhaps a little pedantically, in his fine book states that an aeroplane will spin if the application of rudder causes the downgoing wing to stall.
If you think of a flick roll entry (an autorotation in the horizontal plane; ie a spin!) this is exactly what happens...
as the stick comes back you hoof in rudder and it snaps into a spin.
Formation Flyer is also right - the time between the two events can be measured in nano-seconds and not very many of them!
Ho hum, all ready to go flying but the viz and ceiling here are dictating otherwise.
