Do any of you have experience with spinning the aircraft both before and after the introduction of the spin strakes? Interested in the change in characteristics. Flew them without the strakes and seemed to have no problem, providing recovery was done by the book - never tried experimenting to prove the veracity of the book mind.

Likewise with the Tiger Moth, never flew one with strakes, and never had a problem. Perhaps Danny42C may be in a position and able to comment on the Tiger. Strakes were never adopted on either type here in Australia.
