So sad

Edited to add....maybe not swept wing....but this was a straight wing aeroplane

From my experience of the Firefly and the Bulldog I don't think Beggs Muller would work. Both aircraft took full rudder and positive forward stick for a turn and a bit to come out of a developed spin. The technique worked great on a Pitts which popped out of most spins in a quarter turn. I stand to be corrected by a more knowledgable source , has any one tried bm in a firefly?
