Question

Where do you get that one from Stan? A stalled wing (as in a spin) can only be unstalled by opposite rudder. A spin can be entered intentionaly or unintentionaly (inadvertantley letting the speed to drop off while turning final or doing the same while in a steep turn). Once the wings are unstalled yes you use aileron to level them.

Spin recovery procedure:

1. Release back pressure on the stick (or full forward stick if required in some types)

2. Boot in full oposite rudder until the spin stops. Ailerons are neutral.

3. With spin arrested and when IAS starts to increase, smoothley apply back-pressure on the stick to arrest the descent, and input aileron to level the wings.

4. Level off and apply power as required.

Torque effect can seriously jeapardise the recovery if power is introduced too early in the recovery procedure, and especialy if spinning in the direction of the torque.

In a DH82 (slats locked) I generaly put in full oposite aileron entering a spin if I want to really wind it up. For recovery I have to neutralise the ailerons then boot in the rudder.

Maybe Stan these newer toys have possibley eliminated the need for rudder input with full flying fancy ailerons. I wouldnt know because I dont fly them.

PS Still cant put Q2 into words!
