Yep your right re-reading it 69ltrs which would have been over the cross though I think full tanks is 115ltrs from a very distant memory.
About the same as when I had my interesting "spin".
Mine was on purpose from 6000ft and took 4000ft to come out. The plane did 2 turns with full rudder applied and stick forward slightly before it started to spin faster as it was coming out. It stopped spinning at 3000ft and we recovered to S&L at 2000ft, we were over the sea.
Whole thing took 15 seconds and we did 5-6 rotations I think. With 1.5 hours fuel in the tanks the normal would have been 2000ft lost and 3 rotations in the same time.
