Repeating a bit from Private forum, but here's my experience with the Robin....

...my instinct has been not to pull fully back, just keep a bit of pressure on. There's placarded 2.5 turn limit, and in that limit it's never gone fully developed for me.

Recently though someone demo'd full stick back, and it did go fully developed (can't say for sure whether it was the recovery technique, or the entry). We did about 5 or 6 quick rotations in 1000ft before recovery.

Great ride, but I'll stick to my more tentative technique for now.

[I've also heard of successful recoveries from inadvertant stick forward.]
