We were at 50 deg bank balanced flight with ower on in a c150 or 152.
The aircraft was pitched to the buffet then roll applied to level the wings.
The wing tip stalled throwing us over the top and straight into a high rot fully developed spin which was nothing like the normal spin. Rudder made not the slightest bit of difference and neither did progresively moving the stick forward.
Mad Jock: Care to tell us how you recovered? I read these stories to learn from people and would love to know, should I inadvertently get into such a situation, what the most effective way out is..... after all, if I'm spinning and opposite rudder isn't helping me, I'd like to think I had some idea of a Plan B rather than "manipulate the controls and hope for the best" and learning from the more experienced is the only way I have of "preparing", if you get my drift.
It was one of my three this is it moments in aircraft
The other two being? But more importantly, how did you recover? Think it would be interesting to hear from the more experienced pilots telling us about their "This is it" moments and how they managed to survive and tell the tale - unless the reason for this was pure luck.......
After all, if it happened to you, it could happen to any of us......
