Anyone considering spinning a chipmunk must read a TNS 142 (DH service bulletin). This document addresses the myths and rumours about Chippy spinning. Chipmunks spin and recover as per text book, they only gained a reputation for being difficult to recover due to poor recovery technique. Anyone I do training with in a Chippy is issued with a copy of TNS 142 and I will not do any aerobatic training with them until they have read and understood it.
