We teached spins from 9.000 ft.

The one thing the SF-260 has is very little down elevator. there's ample of UP elevator available, but very little DOWN elevator.

If one should get in trouble, you can not "push over" as one can in other airplanes. And if the engine should stop in such a case, you can not "blow" the elevator either.

But with those little vanes on the tiptanks, one "can" help with the ailerons.

Not a hair on my neck would think about spinning below 4.500 ft.

And with those "vanes" on the tanks? You can even fly around using ailerons while in the stall. Just keep the ball centered to avoid falling out.

LOL, Then transfer weight to power, and fly "with ease" below published stall speed. LOL. Again, keep the ball centered. :-)

As a military trainer? There is no better AC for the job.
