Thanks for the replies guys.
djpil, I don't have the POH to hand - I'll post when I do - it was very simple - Full opposite rudder, stick fully back. I do remember it mentioning something like "the only important action is opposite rudder", suggesting that it is probably eager to come out even without the elevator-up input.
I guess the reason I found it unusual was that I had probably convinced myself that spin recovery is all about stopping the yaw AND unloading the wing. I hasten to add that I'm a very low hours pilot.
I've yet to spin in the Robin, but would I be correct in supposing it might be a bit twitchy in the recovery? I'm basing this on an assumption that, with stick back, the wing would still be stalled when the yaw stops.
Regards,
MQ.
